Switch branches/tags

Name already in use

A tag already exists with the provided branch name. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. Are you sure you want to create this branch?

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]

My code:

class Solution:
    def myPow(self, x, n):
        """
        :type x: float
        :type n: int
        :rtype: float
        """
        if(n == 0):
            return 1
        if n<0:
            n = -n;
            x = 1/x;
        if n%2 ==0:
            return self.myPow(x*x, n/2)
        else:
            return x*self.myPow(x*x,(n-1)/2)
