Thread: Can Anybody help me out, in converting my code to iterative method.

Hello,

I am new on programming, is currently using dev c++. I was asked to write a method to find x^y, where y is a power of x. Using recursive and iterative solution. I already have the recursive one, but I don't know how to make it to iterative. Here is my recursive solution.

Code:

#include<stdio.h>


int power (int, int);

int main ()

{
	int base, exp, result;

	
	printf("Please enter a base number\n");
	scanf("%d",&base);
	printf("Please enter a exponent number\n");
	scanf("%d",&exp);

	result = power(base, exp);


	printf("\n The result is:%d\n",result);
	
	system("pause");
    return 0;
}



int power (int base, int exp)
{
   if(exp >= 1)
       return base * (power(base,exp - 1));

   else
       return 1;
}

Help would highly be appreciated. Thanks in advance..
