In order to compute a power of two, you can take the next-lower power and double it. For example, if you want to compute 2^11 and you know that 2^10=1024, then 2^11=2×1024=2048. Write a recursive method public static int pow2(int n) where n is the exponent, that is based on this observation. If the exponent is negative, return -1. import java.util.Scanner; public class PowerTwo { public static int pow2(int n) { /* code goes here */ } public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); while (in.hasNextInt()) { int exponent = in.nextInt(); System.out.println(pow2(exponent)); } } }

Question

In order to compute a power of two, you can take the next-lower power and double it. For example, if you want to compute 2^11 and you know that 2^10=1024, then 2^11=2×1024=2048. Write a recursive method

public static int pow2(int n)

where n is the exponent, that is based on this observation. If the exponent is negative, return -1.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class PowerTwo
{
   public static int pow2(int n)
   {

      /*  code goes here */

   }
   
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
      while (in.hasNextInt())
      {
         int exponent = in.nextInt();
         System.out.println(pow2(exponent));
      }      
   }
}
