Answer 4

LDSD Yes you are right its now working

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

Can you post what you have tried?

Answer 7

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.)

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