Write a program to find x to the power of y using recursion

If we want to find x to the power of y using recursion then it can be done in this way.

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <conio.h>
	int power (int,int);
	int main()
	{
	int x,y;
	printf("enter the values of x and y");
	scanf("%d%d",&x,&y);
	result=power(x,y);
	printf("the value of x to the power y is %d",result);
	getch();
	}
	int power (int x,int y)
	{
	if (y==1)
	return x;
	else if(y==0)
	return 1;
	else
	return(x*power(x,y-1);
	}
