Python Data Structures and Algorithms - Recursion: Calculate the value of 'a' to the power 'b'
Python Recursion: Exercise-10 with Solution
Write a Python program to calculate the value of 'a' to the power of 'b'.
Test Data:
(power(3,4) -> 81
Sample Solution:-
Python Code:
def power(a,b):
if b==0:
return 1
elif a==0:
return 0
elif b==1:
return a
else:
return a*power(a,b-1)
print(power(3,4))
Sample Output:
81

Chunks a list into smaller lists of a specified size:
Example:
from math import ceil def tips_chunk(lst, size): return list( map(lambda x: lst[x * size:x * size + size], list(range(0, ceil(len(lst) / size))))) print(tips_chunk([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 3))
Output:
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
