Write a program using recursion which should take two values and display 1st value raised to the power of second value.
Any problem that can be solved by dividing the problem into smaller problems of the same type is a good candidate for recursion. However, there are actually very few applications that cannot be resolved more efficiently with an iterative loop. It therefore pays to know when recursion is unavoidable and when it is optional. The main benefit to recursion is that each instance of the function maintains its own set of non-static local variables completely independently of all other instances. But if these variables are of no use to the function when a recursive call returns, then an iterative implementation would be more efficient. Function calls are expensive in terms of memory consumption and performance, so the fewer we make, the better. A classic example of recursive application is the quicksort algorithm. In simple terms, quicksort is a function that accepts a subset of data. The data is usually stored in an array and the function accepts the left and right index of the subset to be sorted. Initially this will be lower and upper bounds of the entire array, but if the indices indicate a subset with fewer than 2 items, the function immediately exits. This effectively defines the return path from the recursions. Assuming there are 2 or more items, the function selects one of the items (the pivot) and then sorts the array such that items less than the pivot are placed to its left, and items greater or equal to its right. This moves the pivot into its final position, but the items on either side may still be unsorted. Thus the function calls itself twice, once for each of these subsets, which gradually reduces the problem down into smaller and smaller subsets until a subset has fewer than 2 items, at which point the recursion unwinds to the previous instance. Recursion is required because when the first recursive call returns, the subset to the left of the pivot is guaranteed to be sorted, but the subset to the right is not. This means we must maintain local variables in order to determine the lower and upper bounds of that subset. Although quicksort is an elegant application of recursion, there is still room for improvement. Firstly, it is better to make a recursive call upon the smaller of the two subsets. The smaller the subset, the fewer recursions that will be incurred sorting it. Secondly, since the second recursion is also the last statement in the function, there is no need to maintain the local variables when it returns. Thus the second recursion can be implemented as a tail call. This effectively means we modify the existing local variables to suit and then recall the same instance (with a goto). This reduces the depth of recursion by one function call per recursion which will quickly add up to a significant boost in efficiency.
Since all decent programming languages have the multiplication operator, you simply multiply them. If you want to go into a bit more detail, it would be a bit like this: Ask user for number "a" Ask user for number "b" Calculate result = a * b Show result (End) Use the appropriate flow chart symbols for input, etc.

<select id="selectlist"><option> First</option> <option> Second</option>. This is a sample program to insert a selection list.
The U.S. has a 'working provision' patent law that requires you to exploit a patent or forfeit the patent. Second, patents are really expensive.
A number raised to the second power is a number times itself. This can also be stated as a number squared.
What os 18 raised to the second power
62 = 6 x 6 or 36
9
36
they cancel each other out. the square root of 5 raised to the second power = 5
It is raised to the second power
What apartment in Mariette have a second chance program
It is 10x raised to the second power.
7 raised to the second power is the same way as saying "seven squared". Seven squared is equal to 49.
Any number raised to the second power means it is multiplied by itself two times. Thus 6 to the second power is: 6x6=136
62 = 36
