Starting with the code below, implement the power() function that calculates the equation: x raised to the power of y. You may assume that the inputs (x and y) and return value are 0 or positive integers (do not worry about handling negative numbers).

 // Use this in your power() function
int my_power;
 
// Needed by the test
int answer;
 
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
 
  // Should be 9
  answer = power(3, 2);
  Serial.println(answer);
 
  // Should be 5
  answer = power(5, 1);
  Serial.println(answer);
 
  // Should be 1
  answer = power(9, 0);
  Serial.println(answer);
 
  // Should be 16384
  answer = power(2, 14);
  Serial.println(answer);
 
  // Should be 0
  answer = power(0, 4);
  Serial.println(answer);
}
 
void loop() {
  // Do nothing
}
 
int power(int x, int y) {
  // YOUR CODE GOES HERE
}

Hints:

• You will likely need to use the “my_power” variable in your function
• Don’t forget to check for the special case when y is 0
• You should not need to modify any other code outside the power() function

 When you run the program, you should see the following output:
