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.

class Program
{
    static string InputPattern = "InputX";

    static List<string> GetInputList()
    {
        var WillReturn = new List<string>();

        if (InputPattern == "Input1") {
            WillReturn.Add("2 2");
            //2
        }
        else if (InputPattern == "Input2") {
            WillReturn.Add("1 10");
            //10
        }
        else if (InputPattern == "Input3") {
            WillReturn.Add("10 8");
            //322828856
        }
        else {
            string wkStr;
            while ((wkStr = Console.ReadLine()) != null) WillReturn.Add(wkStr);
        }
        return WillReturn;
    }

    static void Main()
    {
        List<string> InputList = GetInputList();
        long[] wkArr = InputList[0].Split(' ').Select(X => long.Parse(X)).ToArray();

        long N = wkArr[0];
        long K = wkArr[1];

        long Answer = K;
        for (long I = 2; I <= N; I++) {
            Answer *= K - 1;
        }
        Console.WriteLine(Answer);
    }
