MARIE assembly - Raising integer to a power

inquisitiveUser

Hi guys, so the following program multiplies 2 numbers by repeated addition. However i want to raise the first variable entered to the power of the second variable entered. I am trying to modify the code to allow for this. but considering the marie assembly language is so limited how would i do this without the use of a multiplication operator? If anyone can comment on this with a solution i would be majorly grateful
