An integer exponent is a count of the number of times a particular number (the base) must be multiplied together.
For example, for the base x,
x^a means x*x*x*...*x where there are a lots of x in the multiplication.
The definition is simple to understand for integer values of the exponent. This definition gives rise to the laws of exponents, and these allow this definition to be extended to the case where the exponents are negative, fractions, irrational and even complex numbers.
