Power of a number
Detailed guide and Python implementation for the 'Power of a number' problem.
Problem Statement
Write a function power(base, exp) that takes two non-negative integers base and exp and returns base raised to the power exp (i.e., base^exp). Note that any number raised to the power 0 is 1.
- •0 <= base <= 100
- •0 <= exp <= 20
Examples
base = 2, exp = 10
1024
2^10 = 1024.
base = 5, exp = 0
1
Any number raised to the power 0 is 1.
base = 3, exp = 4
81
3^4 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81.
