You are working on problem set: Recursion Problems ( Pause)

power

Language/Type: C++ recursion

Write a recursive function named power that accepts two integers representing a base and an exponent and returns the base raised to that exponent. For example, the call of power(3, 4) should return 34 or 81 . If the exponent passed is negative, throw an integer exception.

Do not use loops or auxiliary data structures; solve the problem recursively. Also do not use the provided C++ pow function in your solution.

Function: Write a C++ function as described, not a complete program.
