C program to calculate power of a number using recursion

#include <stdio.h>

//function for calculating power

long int getPower(int b,int p)

{

    long int result=1;

    if(p==0) return result;

    result=b*(getPower(b,p-1));  //call function again

}

int main()

{

    int base,power;

    long int result;    

    printf("Enter value of base: ");

    scanf("%d",&base);    

    printf("Enter value of power: ");

    scanf("%d",&power);    

    result=getPower(base,power);    

    printf("%d to the power of %d is: %ld\n",base,power,result);    

    return 0;

}
