If you have done the positive side with recursion, and you understand how the negative powers work, then it should be quite easy to work with this. input: number = any integer, power = negative integer base/anchor: power is 0 returns 1 recursion: 1/number * function where power + 1

Hmm, I just did your code in Python, and it worked. I don't know much about Java yet, so perhaps the results have to do with something specific to the language. Specifically, every division (1/a) is returning 0. (float numbers are weird.) https://code.sololearn.com/cuPpnx1V0pMB/?ref=app

SOUPTIK NATH Nevermind I just noticed in my previous post. You are dividing (1/a) instead of (1.0/a)
