Need a reminder? The key ideaShow
A parameter with a default value is optional in the call.
The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, compare your working with the solution.
Plan. The function returns base ** exponent. The default exponent is 2.
power(5)uses the default: .power(2, 10)is .power(10, 3)is .
