# Catch Arguments Passed in the Wrong Order When Calling a Function

---
## Problem Explanation

```javascript
function raiseToPower(b, e) {
  return Math.pow(b, e);
}
```

- The above function is used to raise the base number `b` to the power of the exponent `e`. 
- The function must be called specifically with variables in the correct order. Otherwise the function will mix up both variables and return an undesired answer.
- Make sure the variable `power` is implementing the `raiseToPower` function correctly.

  return Math.pow(b, e);
}

let base = 2;
let exp = 3;
let power = raiseToPower(base, exp);
console.log(power);
```
