Functions that return the value of a base and an exponent is very common so I want to switch it up.
This time, we’re going to try to reverse-engineer these functions and find out the exponent of a certain number based on the value of the result and the base used to get that value.
For example, if the base is 2 and the result is 8, then the output should be 3 because the exponent needed for 2 to become 8 is 3 (i.e. 23 = 8)
Instructions:
-
In the code editor, you are provided with a main() function that asks the user for two integer inputs:
- The first integer is the base
- The second integer is the result
-
Furthermore, you are provided with the getExponent() function which is partially implemented. The details of this function are the following:
- Return type - int
- Name - getExponent
-
Parameters
- int - base
- int - result
- Description - this recursive function returns the exponent
- Your task is to add the base case of this recursive function so that it will work properly.
Input
1. The base
2. The result
Output
Enter the base: 2
Enter the result: 8
Exponent = 3
