[Solved] Compute a^n Compute Power with Java

Compute Power: Write a program to compute a^n (a power n) using recursion.
 

Input and Output Format:

Input consists of 2 integers.
Refer sample input and output for formatting specifications.
All text in bold corresponds to input and the rest corresponds to output.

Sample Input and Output:

Enter the value of a
2
Enter the value of n
8

The value of 2 power 8 is 256

Solution

import java.util.*;

class Main{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int a, b, c, d;
        System.out.println("Enter the value of a");
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        a = sc.nextInt();
        System.out.println("Enter the value of n");
        b = sc.nextInt();
        System.out.println("The value of " + a + " power " + b + " is " + computePower(a, b));
    //sauravhathi
    }

    public static int computePower(int a, int b) {
        if (n>1){
            return a*computePower(a, n-1);
        }
        else if (n==0){
            return 1;
        }
        else{
            return a;
        }
    }
}
