Question

toThePowerOf is a method that accepts two int arguments and returns the value of the first parameter raised to the power of the second. An int variable cubeSide has already been declared and initialized. Another int variable, cubeVolume, has already been declared. Write a statement that calls toThePowerOf to compute the value of cubeSide raised to the power of 3 and that stores this value in cubeVolume. Assume that toThePowerOf is defined in the same class that calls it.

Answer 1

cubeVolume = toThePowerOf(cubeSide, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function toThePowerOf, receives two int arguments say, a and b, where a is the first argument and b is the second argument as follows:

toThePowerOf(a,b)

The function returns the first argument(a) raised to the power of the second argument (b) i.e a ^ b as follows:

toThePowerOf(a, b){

return a^b

}

In the call to the function, the first argument a, is replaced with the variable cubeSide and the second argument b is replaced with the value 3.

Hence, the returned result becomes cubeSide ^ 3 which is then stored in a variable cubeVolume as follows:

cubeVolume = toThePowerOf(cubeSide, 3)
