/*Write a Java program that prompts the user to enter two integers a and b.  You may assume 
without checking that 𝑏>0.  Without using Math.pow or any other library methods, compute and output the 
value  𝑎𝑏.  For example, if the user enters 𝑎=2 and 𝑏=5, the program would output the value 32 since 
25=2×2×2×2×2=32.   */
