A recursive method may call other methods, including calling itself. Creating a recursive method can be accomplished in two steps. 1. Write the base case -- Every recursive method must have a case that returns a value or exits from the method without performing a recursive call. That case is called the base case. A programmer may write that part of the method first, and then lest. There may be multiple base cases. Complete the recursive method that returns the exponent of a given number. For e. g. given the number 5 and the exponent 3 (53) the method returns 125. Note: any number to the zero power is 1. Note: Do not code for the example. Your method must work for all given parameters! Use this as your method header: public static int raiseToPower(int base, int exponent)

Explanation:

The following code is written in Java. It creates the raiseToPower method that takes in two int parameters. It then uses recursion to calculate the value of the first parameter raised to the power of the second parameter. Three test cases have been provided in the main method of the program and the output can be seen in the attached image below.

class {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       System.out.println("Base 5, Exponent 3: " + raiseToPower(5,3));

       System.out.println("Base 2, Exponent 7: " + raiseToPower(2,7));

       System.out.println("Base 5, Exponent 9: " + raiseToPower(5,9));

   }

   public static int raiseToPower(int base, int exponent) {

       if (exponent == 0) {

           return 1;

       } else if (exponent == 1) {

           return base;

       } else {

           return (base * raiseToPower(base, exponent-1));

       }

   }

}

answer; the above statement is (true);
