Problem Statement

There are N balls placed in a row.
AtCoDeer the deer is painting each of these in one of the K colors of his paint cans.
For aesthetic reasons, any two adjacent balls must be painted in different colors.

Find the number of the possible ways to paint the balls.

Constraints

1≦N≦1000

2≦K≦1000

The correct answer is at most 2^{31}-1.

Input

The input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

N K

Output

Print the number of the possible ways to paint the balls.

Sample Input 1

2 2

Sample Output 1

2

We will denote the colors by 0 and 1. There are two possible ways: we can either paint the left ball in color 0 and the right ball in color 1, or paint the left in color 1 and the right in color 0.

Sample Input 2

1 10

Sample Output 2

10

Since there is only one ball, we can use any of the ten colors to paint it. Thus, the answer is ten.

namespace AtCoder
{
  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      string[] ss = Console.ReadLine().Split(' ');
      int N = int.Parse(ss[0]);
      int K = int.Parse(ss[1]);
      long p = K;
      for(int i = 1; i < N; i++)
      {
        p *= (K-1);
      }

      Console.WriteLine(p);
      Console.ReadLine();
    }

  }
