Calculate power of a number using recursion in C language

Calculate power of a number using recursion in C language

In this tutorial, we will discuss the concept of  Calculate power of a given number using recursion in C language

In this post, we will learn how to  find the power of a given number using recursion in C  language

Program 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int find_Power(int num1,int num2);//function prototype
int main()
{
    int base, powerValue, result;

    printf("Enter base number: ");
    scanf("%d",&base);

    printf("Enter power number: ");
    scanf("%d",&powerValue);

    result=find_Power(base,powerValue);

    printf("%d^%d=%d",base,powerValue,result);
    getch();
    return 0;
}

int find_Power(int base, int powerValue)//
{
    if(powerValue !=0)
        return (base*find_Power(base,powerValue-1));
    else
        return 1;
}

When the above code is executed, it produces the following results

Enter base number: 4
Enter the power number: 5
4^5=1024

Pow() pre-defined function is used to calculate the power of a number raised to a decimal value
