50. Pow(x, n)

Hazrat Ali

Leetcode

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

 

Example 1:

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

Example 2:

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

Example 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
  • -231 <= n <= 231-1
  • n is an integer.
  • Either x is not zero or n > 0.
  • -104 <= xn <= 104

 

 
 * Power(x, n)
 *
 * Implement pow(x, n), which calculates x raised to the power n (xn).
 *
 * Example 1:
 *
 * Input: 2.00000, 10
 * Output: 1024.00000
 * Example 2:
 *
 * Input: 2.10000, 3
 * Output: 9.26100
 * Example 3:
 *
 * Input: 2.00000, -2
 * Output: 0.25000
 * Explanation: 2-2 = 1/22 = 1/4 = 0.25
 * Note:
 *
 * -100.0 < x < 100.0
 * n is a 32-bit signed integer, within the range [−231, 231 − 1]

Solution : 

/**
 * @param {number} x
 * @param {number} n
 * @return {number}
 */
const myPow = (x, n) => {
  if (n === 0) {
    return 1;
  }

  const temp = myPow(x, parseInt(n / 2));

  if (n % 2 === 0) {
    return temp * temp;
  }

  if (n > 0) {
    return x * temp * temp;
  }

  return (temp * temp) / x;
};
