Given non-negative integers x and n, x taken to the nth power can be defined as: x to the 0th power is 1 x to the nth power can be obtained by multiplying x to the n-1’th power with x Write a long-valued method named power that accepts an two int parameters x and n (in that order) and recursively calculates and returns the value of x taken to the n’th power.

CHALLENGE:

Given non-negative integers x and n, x taken to the nth power can be defined as:
x to the 0th power is 1
x to the nth power can be obtained by multiplying x to the n-1’th power with x
Write a long-valued method named power that accepts an two int parameters x and n (in that order) and recursively calculates and returns the value of x taken to the n’th power.

SOLUTION:

int power(int x,int n){
   if(n==1)
   return x;
   if(n==0)
   return 1;
  return power(x, n-1) * x;
}
