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.

import java.util.*;
 
class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        long N = sc.nextInt();
        long K = sc.nextInt();
        long ans = 1;
      
      if(N<=1){System.out.print(K);}
      else{
        for(int i = 0; i<N-1 ;i++){
        ans *=K-1;  
        }
        System.out.print(K*ans);
      }

      
    }
