Functions in C
Recursive Function for power calculation
C Program: Recursive Function for power calculation
#include <stdio.h>
// Function declaration
long long power(int base, int exp);
int main() {
int base, exponent;
// Input base and exponent
printf("Enter base: ");
scanf("%d", &base);
printf("Enter exponent: ");
scanf("%d", &exponent);
// Function call and display result
printf("%d^%d = %lld\n", base, exponent, power(base, exponent));
return 0;
}
// Recursive function to calculate power
long long power(int base, int exp) {
if (exp == 0)
return 1; // Base case: any number^0 = 1
return base * power(base, exp - 1);
}
Output
OUTPUT 1 : Enter base: 2 Enter exponent: 5 2^5 = 32 OUTPUT 2 : Enter base: 3 Enter exponent: 4 3^4 = 81
Explanation
- Recursive Concept
- The function multiplies base repeatedly exp
- Each recursive call reduces exp by 1 until it reaches 0.
- Base Case
- When exp == 0, function returns 1 (mathematical rule).
- Recursive Step
power(2, 3)
→ 2 * power(2, 2)
→ 2 * (2 * power(2, 1))
→ 2 * (2 * (2 * power(2, 0)))
→ 2 * 2 * 2 * 1 = 8
