XpowX:
  # edi : input register
  # ebx : counter
  # eax : result register
  xor  %eax, %eax    # result  = 0
  inc  %eax          # result += 1
  xor  %ebx, %ebx    # counter = 0
  loop:
    cmp  %ebx, %edi  # if (counter == input)
    je   done        #   return result
    imul %edi, %eax  # result  *= input
    inc        %ebx  # counter += 1
