[leetcode-in-go] 0050-Pow(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]

解题思路

• 二分法迅速减少乘法次数

func core(x float64, n int) float64 {
	if n == 0 {
		return 1
	}
	res := core(x, n/2)
	if n%2 == 0 {
		return res * res
	} else {
		return res * res * x
	}
}

func myPow(x float64, n int) float64 {
	if n < 0 {
		return 1 / core(x, -n)
	}
	return core(x, n)
}
