maths.power_using_recursion.power(base: int, exponent: int) → float

Calculate the power of a base raised to an exponent.

>>> power(3, 4)
81
>>> power(2, 0)

>>> all(power(base, exponent) == pow(base, exponent)
...     for base in range(-10, 10) for exponent in range(10))
True
>>> power('a', 1)
'a'
>>> power('a', 2)
