50. Pow(x, n)

Implement pow(x, n).

 Notice

You don't need to care about the precision of your answer, it's acceptable if the expected answer and your answer 's difference is smaller than1e-3.

Example
Pow(2.1, 3) = 9.261
Pow(0, 1) = 0
Pow(1, 0) = 1
分析:
如果n是偶数,那么, power (x, n) = power(x,n/2) * power(x, n/2)。
如果n是奇数,那么, power (x, n) = power(x,n/2) * power(x, n/2) * x.
注意:当负数转成正数的时候,有可能会溢出。
 1 public class Solution {
 2     public double myPow(double x, int n) {
 3         return helper(x, n);
 4     }
 5     
 6     private double helper(double x, long n) {
 7         if (n == 0 || x == 1) return 1;
 8         if (x == 0) return 0;
 9         
10         if (n < 0) return 1 / helper(x, -n);
11         
12         double result = helper(x, n / 2);
13         if (n % 2 == 0) {
14             return result * result;
15         }
16         return result * result * x;
17     }
18 }
