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.

Solution in Go (1.14.1) (judge verdict: Accepted)

package main

import (
	"bufio"
	"fmt"
	"os"
	"strconv"
)

var sc = bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)

func main() {
	scanInit()

	n := nextInt()
	k := nextInt()
	ans := k
	for i := 1; i < n; i++ {
		ans *= k - 1
	}

	fmt.Println(ans)

}

// ---- readfunc
func scanInit() {
	const cap = 200 * 1024 // Default=64
	var buf = make([]byte, cap)
	sc.Buffer(buf, cap)
	sc.Split(bufio.ScanWords)
	return
}
func nextInt() int {
	sc.Scan()
	i, e := strconv.Atoi(sc.Text())
	if e != nil {
		panic(e)
	}
	return i
}
func nextStr() string {
	sc.Scan()
	return sc.Text()
}
