Power Function in C using Recursion

The Power Function

Source Code given below :

#include <stdio.h>

// prototype for power function

int power(int b, int n);

int main()

{

    int base, pow;

    printf("Enter a number and its power : \n");

    scanf("%d %d",&base, &pow);

    int res = power(base, pow);

    printf("%d raised to power %d is %d\n",base, pow, res);

    return 0;

}

// power function using recursion

int power(int b, int p)

{

    if(p == 0)  // base case

        return 1;

    else

        return b*power(b,p-1);  // recursive block

}
