Program in C

Write a recursive function power(base, exponent) that when

invoked returns the result of evaluating the exponent.

For example, power(3, 4) = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3. Assume that exponent is an integer greater than

or equal to 1.

Hint: The recursion step would use the relationship:

base exponent = base * base exponent-1

The terminating condition occurs when exponent is equal to 1 since base 1 = base

Use the function in a complete program that does the following:

• asks the user "Please enter the base" using puts

• asks the user "Please enter the exponent" using puts.

• calls with function with the user provided values

• prints out the results with the following sentence "The result of {base} to the {power} is {result of function}"
