C program to calculate the power using recursion
In this example, you will learn to calculate the power of a number using recursion.
Program to calculate power using recursion
#include <stdio.h>
int power(int n1, int n2);
int main(){
int base, a, result;
printf("Enter base number: ");
scanf("%d", &base);
printf("Enter power number(positive integer): ");
scanf("%d", &a);
result = power(base, a);
printf("%d^%d = %d", base, a, result);
return 0;
}
int power(int base, int a){
if (a != 0)
return (base * power(base, a - 1));
else
return 1;
}
Output
Enter base number: 3 Enter power number(positive integer): 4 3^4 = 81
