-1. If `n==1`, then everything is trivial. It is called *the base* of recursion, because it immediately produces the obvious result: `pow(x, 1)` equals `x`.
-2. Otherwise, we can represent `pow(x, n)` as `x * pow(x, n-1)`. In maths, one would write <code>x<sup>n</sup> = x * x<sup>n-1</sup></code>. This is called *a recursive step*: we transform the task into a simpler action (multiplication by `x`) and a simpler call of the same task (`pow` with lower `n`). Next steps simplify it further and further untill `n` reaches `1`.
