If x is an integer value, use one of the algorithms already given (lookup
table or while loop). If x can be fixed point as well, you could use some
kind of taylor approximation:

e^x = x^0/0! + x^1/1! + x^2/2! + x^3/3! + ...

with 10^x = (e^n)^x = e^(n*x)
and n = ln 10 = 2.302585093

for an implementation see
