Exercise

Calculate the sum of potencies

In this exercise, you will calculate the sum of potencies recursively. This mathematical series is defined as:

result=1 for step = 1
result + step^step for step > 1

The numbers in this series are getting large very quickly and the series does not converge. The task of this exercise is to calculate the sum of potencies for step = 9.
