Hi i need help with JAVA , can anyone help?

hi i am doing some Homework and i am having trouble with this question
the Q is :
Write the definition of a method powerTo , which receives two parameters. The first is a double and the second is an int . The method returns a double .
If the second parameter is negative, the method returns zero. Otherwise it returns the value of the first parameter raised to the power of the second.

what i have is :

public double powerTo(double d, int i){
return d;
if(i<0){
b = 0.0;}
else{Math.pow(d, i);}
}

can any one help

public double powerTo(double d, int i){

double temp;

if(i<0)
temp = 0.0;
else
temp = Math.pow(d,i);

return temp;

}

Its been a couple semester since I took Java but four problems I see right away are:

1. the return statement should always be last
2. the variable b is not declared.
3. The math.Pow method requires 2 doubles
4. You need to assign the Math.pow to a variable. Somthing simliar to b = Math.pow(d1, d2)
