Recursive Functions in C#

My first recursive function in C#. Woohoo. I remember writing this when I first learned C++. :)

What does it do? It’s the does the Power function. For example, 12^2 would return 144 because it’s 12×12.

public static int Power(int baseNum, int exponent)
{
	int product = 0;

	if(exponent == 0)
		product = 1;
	else if(exponent == 1)
		product = baseNum;
	else
	{
		product = baseNum;
		product *= Power(baseNum, exponent-1);
		Console.WriteLine("Product: " + product);
	}

	return product;
}

[Note] I’m not sure why the slashes are showing up in the last WriteLine statement.. Maybe it’s a safety feature in WordPress..
