Did not print false when the result is less than base

I doing some practice with find power one number is power of another number. When I reach to base = 1 and result = 2, it does not print out false for me. What can I do to fix the issue? Here is my code:

let base = 1;
let result = 2;
powerOf(base, result);
function powerOf(base, result){
    if (base == 1){
        result == 1;
    }
    let powerOf = 1;
    while (powerOf < result){
        powerOf = powerOf * base;
    }
    console.log(powerOf = result);
    return true;
} 

Answer

if you use powerOf as a variable to store your power result, when base is 1, powerOf must be 1, you don’t need to enter the while loop

let base = 1;
let result = 2;

console.log(powerOf(base, result));

function powerOf(base, result) {
  let powerOf = 1;
  while (powerOf < result && base != 1) {
    powerOf = powerOf * base;
  }

  return powerOf == result;
}
