Implementing Integer Power Calculation with Exponentiation by Squaring

The problem of calculating xn, where x is a double and n is an integer, can be efficiently solved using a recursive approach known as exponentiation by squaring. This method significantly reduces the number of multiplications required compared to a naive iterative approach. Function Signature The core of the solution is a function that takes a ...
