Python code to find the power of a number using recursion

defining the function to find the power

function accpets base (x) and the power (y)

and, return x to the power y

def pow(x, y): if y == 1: return x else: return pow(x, y-1) * x

main code

if name == 'main': x = 2 #base y = 3 #power result = pow(x, y) print(x," to the power ", y, " is: ", result)

x = 10 #base
y = 3  #power
result = pow(x, y)
print(x," to the power ", y, " is: ", result)

x = 12 #base
y = 5  #power
result = pow(x, y)
print(x," to the power ", y, " is: ", result)
