C program to calculate the power using recursion

This program calculates the power of a number using recursion.
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics:

calculate power using recursion

Example: Program to calculate power using recursion

#include <stdio.h>

int power(int n1, int n2);

int main()
{
    int base, powerRaised, result;

    printf("Enter base number: ");
    scanf("%d",&base);

    printf("Enter power number(positive integer): ");
    scanf("%d",&powerRaised);

    result = power(base, powerRaised);

    printf("%d^%d = %d", base, powerRaised, result);
    return 0;
}

int power(int base, int powerRaised)
{
    if (powerRaised != 0)
        return (base*power(base, powerRaised-1));
    else
        return 1;
}

Output
Enter base number: 3
Enter power number(positive integer): 4
3^4 = 81

C Program to Find Largest Element of an Array

This program takes n number of element from user (where, n is specified by user) and stores data in an array. Then, this program displays the largest element of that array using loops. To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming for Loop C Programming Arrays Example: Display Largest Element of an array #include <stdio.h> int main () { int i , n ; float arr [ 100 ]; printf ( "Enter total number of elements(1 to 100): " ); scanf ( "%d" , & n ); printf ( "\n" ); // Stores number entered by the user for ( i = 0 ; i < n ; ++ i ) { printf ( "Enter Number %d: " , i + 1 ); scanf ( "%f" , & arr [ i ]); } // Loop to store largest number to arr[0] for ( i = 1 ; i < n ; ++ i ) { // Change < to > if you want to find the smallest e...

C Program to Check Prime or Armstrong Number Using User-defined Function

Example to check whether an integer is a prime number or an Armstrong or both by creating two separate functions. To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming for Loop C Programming while and do...while Loop C Programming break and continue Statement C Programming Functions Types of User-defined Functions in C Programming In this program, two user-defined functions  checkPrimeNumber()  and  checkArmstrongNumber() are created. The  checkPrimeNumber()  returns 1 if the number entered by the user is a prime number. Similarly,  checkArmstrongNumber()  returns 1 if the number entered by the user is an Armstrong number.

C Program to Find the Sum of Natural Numbers using Recursion

Example to find the sum of natural numbers by using a recursive function. To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming User-defined functions C Programming Recursion The positive numbers 1, 2, 3... are known as natural numbers. The program below takes a positive integer from the user and calculates the sum up to the given number. You can find the sum of natural numbers using loop as well. However, you will learn to solve this problem using recursion here. Read -  Programming language Example: Sum of Natural Numbers Using Recursion #include <stdio.h> int addNumbers ( int n ); int main () { int num ; printf ( "Enter a positive integer: " ); scanf ( "%d" , & num ); printf ( "Sum = %d" , addNumbers ( num )); return 0 ; } int addNumbers ( int n ) { if ( n != 0 ) return n + addNumbers ( n - 1 ); el...
