Decode the Coding Interview in Python: Real-World Examples

DIY: Pow(x, n)

Explore how to implement the pow function in Python by recursively calculating a base raised to an integer power. Understand the problem constraints and learn to optimize the solution using recursion. This lesson helps you apply key concepts to efficiently solve power calculation problems common in coding interviews.

We'll cover the following...

Problem statement

For this problem, you are given an integer base and power value. You have to implement the pow() function, which will raise the base to a specified power and return its value.

Assume the following constraints:

  • -100 < base < 100
  • -2312^{31}
