Pow(x,n) Problem


Description

LeetCode Problem 50.

Implement pow(x, n), which calculates x raised to the power n (i.e., x^n).

Example 1:

1
2
Input: x = 2.00000, n = 10
Output: 1024.00000

Example 2:

1
2
Input: x = 2.10000, n = 3
Output: 9.26100

Example 3:

1
2
3
Input: x = 2.00000, n = -2
Output: 0.25000
Explanation: 2-2 = 1/22 = 1/4 = 0.25

Constraints:

  • -100.0 < x < 100.0
  • -2^31 <= n <= 2^31-1
  • -10^4 <= x^n <= 10^4

        long long m = abs(n);

            x *= x;
            m = m >> 1;

            return 1 / ans;
        else
            return ans;
    }
