7. Write a recursive function power (base, exponent) that when invoked returns baseexponent. The
recursive step would use the relationship baseexponent = base * baseexponent-1 and the terminating
conditionoccurswhenexponentisequalto1becausebase1=base.Forexample,power(3,4)=
3*3*3*3.Assumethatexponentisanintegergreaterthanorequalto1.Bothbaseandexponent
areunsignedlongintegers,whereasthereturnpowervalueisanunsignedlonglonginteger.

8. WriteafunctionguessGametoplaythegameofguessthealphabet.Thefunctionfirstrandomly
selectsaletterintherangeAtoZ,andthenpromptstheplayertoguesstheletter.Theplayer
types a first guess, and the function responds with one of the following: Too low! Please try
again,Toohigh!PleasetryagainorGreat!Yourguessisright.Thefunctionshouldloopuntil
the player gets the letter right, and should prompt the player to playing the game again. The
programonlyterminateswhentheplayerdoesnotwanttoplaythegameagain.
