Pow(x, n)

Last updated

What is Pow(x, n)?

Implement the power function that raises x to the nth power, including negative exponents, in O(log n). You use fast exponentiation: square the base and halve the exponent at each step, handling odd exponents by multiplying in an extra factor. This problem teaches you recursive divide-and-conquer on a numerical computation, and is the standard way to implement exponentiation efficiently. Visit the question on the LeetCode website.
