Need help with my program - zeclipse21 - Dec-08-2019

This is supposed to be the outcome of my code

Output:Enter your choice: 3
Enter the value of the base followed by the exponent: 5 3
The power of 5 raised to 3 is 125.

my code is

n,exp=int(input("Enter the value of the base:")).split(",")
      def power(n,exp):
         if(exp==1):
            return(n)
         if(exp!=1):
           return(n*power(n,exp-1))
print("The power of",n, "raised to",exp,"is",power(n,exp))

This is the error i receive

Error:Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\NICKLAUS\Desktop\LE3222_RosalesNicklaus.py", line 1, in <module>
    n,exp=int(input("Enter the value of the base:")).split(",")
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '3,5'

If you have such an error in a compound statement, you must split it to see where exactly the error arises. The message tells you the error is in:

n,exp=int(input("Enter the value of the base:")).split(",")

The first part to be executed will be:

input("Enter the value of the base:")

When you enter the string: '3,5', this will be replaced with '3,5' in the next stage:

>>> int('3,5')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '3,5'

This gives you the answer: '3,5' is not an integer. int() expects one parameter, so the most readable construction would be to split the line into:

n,exp=input("Enter the value of the base:").split(",")
n = int(n)
exp = int(exp)

The most
