Clarification on Lab Assignment 1

[Renjith Sebastian]

Hi, 

Could someone please clarify whether we should consider negative values for n and k for the functions we define?

[Thomas Hallgren]

Hi,

The introduction to lab assignment 1 says: the power function takes two arguments n and k and computes n^k. Your implementation only has to work for non-negative k.

Negative values for n should not be a problem, e.g. power (-3) 2 == 9.

So, in your testing, it is reasonable to include negative values for n, but only non-negative values for k.
