#include<bits/stdc++.h>
#define f(i,a,b) for(int i=a;i<b;i++)
#define dbg(x); cout<<"\n"<<#x<<": "<<x<<"\n";
#define ret return
using namespace std;
int main(){ 
	ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
    cin.tie(NULL);
	int a,b,ans;
	cin>>a>>b; 
	ans=pow(a,b)-pow(b,a);
	cout<<ans<<"\n";
	ret 0; 
}

I am getting the wrong answer in test 5 I don’t why?

a and b could be up to 100.
Therefore a^b or b^a will not fit into a integer or even into a long long.

You might need to use vectors or arrays in cpp.
Have you tried this question FCTRL2 Problem - CodeChef

The input can be upto 100… 100^100 can also be one test case
