Power

Problem

Write a recursive subroutine power($base, $exp) that raises $base to the power $exp by multiplying — without using the ** operator. The base case is $exp == 0, which gives 1; otherwise the answer is $base times power($base, $exp - 1). Print power(2, 10).

Example

The program prints:

1024
