Python Program To Calculate Power Using Recursive Function

In this program, we read value of base and exponent from user and then we calculate base^exponent using recursive function power().

This Python program calculates base power exponent using recursive function.

Python Source Code

# power calculation using recursion

# Recursive function definition
def power(x,n):
    if n==0:
        return 1
    else:
        return x * power(x, n-1)

# Reading base and exponent 
base = float(input("Enter value of base: "))
exponent = int(input("Enter value of exponent: "))

# Function call
result = power(base, exponent)

# Displaying result
print("Result is:", result)

Output

Enter value of base: 2
Enter value of exponent: 3
Result is: 8.0
