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
  • -104 <= xn <= 104




 class Solution:
    def myPow(self, x: float, n: int) -> float:

        def pow(x, n):
            if x == 0:
                return 0
            if n == 0:
                return 1

            res = pow(x*x, n//2)
            return res if n%2 == 0 else res*x

        res =  pow(x,abs(n))
        return res if n>0 else 1/res
