Hi, I'm an undergrad studying computer science. I discovered, while
studying for a computer science final, that I still haven't come up
with an answer to a question that was offered as extra credit on our
first quiz in the course. We were given the following Pascal code.

function power(n: integer): integer;
begin
if n <= 1 then
return (5)
else
return (5 * power(n-1))
end; {power}

Non-sequiteur: For n<1, this algorithm is flat wrong.
