If (as I understand) he's changed i_total to type long and it still has
this problem, you also have to change the format to %ld (for long int):

given:
   int i;
   int n;
   long i_total;


   printf("%d raised to the %dth power is %ld\n\n", i, n, i_total);

(I normally don't do homework problems; however, I suspect I'm saying
exactly what the instructor would say.)
