Given two integers x and n, write a function to compute xn. We may assume that x and n are small and overflow doesn’t happen.

program to calculate pow(x,n)

Examples : 

Input : x = 2, n = 3
Output : 8

Input : x = 7, n = 2
Output : 49

Naive Approach: To solve the problem follow the below idea:

A simple solution to calculate pow(x, n) would multiply x exactly n times. We can do that by using a simple for loop

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++ 
// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Naive iterative solution to calculate pow(x, n)
long power(int x, unsigned n)
{
    // Initialize result to 1
    long long pow = 1;

    // Multiply x for n times
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        pow = pow * x;
    }

    return pow;
}

// Driver code
int main(void)
{

    int x = 2;
    unsigned n = 3;

    // Function call
    int result = power(x, n);
    cout << result << endl;

    return 0;
}
Java 
// Java program for the above approach

import java.io.*;

class Gfg {

    // Naive iterative solution to calculate pow(x, n)
    public static long power(int x, int n)
    {
        // Initialize result by 1
        long pow = 1L;

        // Multiply x for n times
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            pow = pow * x;
        }

        return pow;
    }

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int x = 2;
        int n = 3;
        System.out.println(power(x, n));
    }
};
Python 
# Python3 program for the above approach
def power(x, n):

    # initialize result by 1
    pow = 1

    # Multiply x for n times
    for i in range(n):
        pow = pow * x

    return pow


# Driver code
if __name__ == '__main__':

    x = 2
    n = 3

       # Function call
    print(power(x, n))
C# 
// C# program for the above approach
using System;

public class Gfg {

    // Naive iterative solution to calculate pow(x, n)
    static long power(int x, int n)
    {
        // Initialize result by 1
        long pow = 1L;

        // Multiply x for n times
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            pow = pow * x;
        }

        return pow;
    }

    // Driver code
    public static void Main(String[] args)
    {
        int x = 2;
        int n = 3;
        Console.WriteLine(power(x, n));
    }
};

// This code contributed by Pushpesh Raj
Javascript 
// Naive iterative solution to calculate pow(x, n)
function power( x, n)
{
    // Initialize result to 1
    let pow = 1;

    // Multiply x for n times
    for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        pow = pow * x;
    }

    return pow;
}

// Driver code

    let x = 2;
    let n = 3;

    // Function call

Time Complexity: O(n)

pow(x, n) using recursion:

We can use the same approach as above but instead of an iterative loop, we can use recursion for the purpose.

C++ 
// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int power(int x, int n)
{
    // If x^0 return 1
    if (n == 0)
        return 1;
    // If we need to find of 0^y
    if (x == 0)
        return 0;
    // For all other cases
    return x * power(x, n - 1);
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int x = 2;
    int n = 3;

    // Function call
    cout << (power(x, n));
}

Time Complexity: O(n)

Program to calculate pow(x, n) using Divide and Conqueror approach:

To solve the problem follow the below idea:

The problem can be recursively defined by:

  • power(x, n) = power(x, n / 2) * power(x, n / 2);        // if n is even
  • power(x, n) = x * power(x, n / 2) * power(x, n / 2);    // if n is odd

An Optimized Divide and Conquer Solution:

To solve the problem follow the below idea:

There is a problem with the above solution, the same subproblem is computed twice for each recursive call. We can optimize the above function by computing the solution of the subproblem once only.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

int power(int x, unsigned int y)

Program to calculate pow(x,n) using Binary operators:

To solve the problem follow the below idea:

Some important concepts related to this approach:

  • Every number can be written as the sum of powers of 2
  • We can traverse through all the bits of a number from LSB to MSB in O(log n) time.

Illustration:

 3^10 = 3^8 * 3^2. (10 in binary can be represented as 1010, where from the left side the first 1 represents 3^2 and the second 1 represents 3^8)

3^19 = 3^16 * 3^2 * 3. (19 in binary can be represented as 10011, where from the left side the first 1 represents 3^1 and second 1 represents 3^2 and the third one represents 3^16)

Below is the implementation of the above approach.

C++ 
// C++ program for the above approach
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int power(int x, int n)
{
    int result = 1;
    while (n > 0) {
        if (n & 1 == 1) // y is odd
        {
            result = result * x;
        }
        x = x * x;
        n = n >> 1; // y=y/2;
    }
    return result;
}

Program to calculate pow(x,n) using Python numpy module:

We can install NumPy by running the following command:

pip install numpy

To solve the problem follow the below idea:

In Python language, we can easily find power of a number using the NumPy library’s “power” function. This function allows you to calculate the power of a number using a single line of code.

Below is the implementation of the above approach.

C++ 
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    int N = 2;
    int X = 3;
    int result = pow(N, X);
    cout << result << endl;
    return 0;
}
Java 
import java.lang.Math;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int N = 2;
        int X = 3;
        int result = (int) Math.pow(N, X);
        System.out.println(result); // Output: 8
    }
}
//this code is contributed by Adarsh.
Python3 
import numpy as np

N = 2
X = 3
result = np.power(N, X)
print(result) # Output: 8

#This code is contributed by Susobhan Akhuli
JavaScript 
// In this example, we're calculating N raised to the power of X
// where N = 2 and X = 3

// Calculating the result
const N = 2;
const X = 3;

// In JavaScript, the Math.pow() function is used to calculate the power of a number
// The Math.pow() function returns the base to the exponent power, that is, base^exponent
const result = Math.pow(N, X);

// Printing the result
console.log(result);
//This code is contributed by Utkarsh

Program to calculate pow(x,n) using math.log2() and ** operator:

Here, we can use the math.log2() in combination with the operator “**” to calculate the power of a number.

C++

using namespace std;

int calculatePower(int a, int n) {
    return round(pow(2, (log2(a) * n)));
}

int main() {
    int a = 2;
    int n = 3;
    cout << calculatePower(a, n) << endl;
    return 0;

    public static int calculatePower(int a, int n) {
        // Calculate a^n using the log2 and pow methods
        // The result is rounded to the nearest integer
        return Math.round((int) Math.pow(2, (Math.log(a) / Math.log(2)) * n));
    }

Program to calculate pow(x,n) using math.exp() function:

In math library, the math.exp() function in Python is used to calculate the value of the mathematical constant e (2.71828…) raised to a given power. It takes a single argument, which is the exponent to which the constant e should be raised, and returns the result as a float. Now, if we use combination of math.log() and math.exp() function, then we can find power of any number.

C++ 
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Function to calculate the power of a number
int calculatePower(int x, int n)
{
    // Calculate the power using the exp and log functions

    double result = exp(log(x) * n);

    // Round the result to the nearest integer
    result = round(result);

    return static_cast<int>(result);
}

int main()
{
    int x = 2;
    int n = 3;

    // Function call

        double result = Math.exp(Math.log(x) * n);

        // Round the result to the nearest integer
        result = Math.round(result);

        return (int) result;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

}
// Driver Code

Complexity Analysis:

Time Complexity: O(1), as both math.exp() and math.log() functions run on O(1) time complexity.
Auxiliary Space: O(1), as no extra space is used.
