Program to Calculate pow(b, e)

In this video, we will explore different approaches to calculate pow(b, e) where b is the base and e is the exponent. We begin by discussing the naive iterative approach, where we multiply the base b by itself exactly e times, followed by a recursive approach to calculate power. Additionally, we delve into the expected approach, which utilizes divide and conquer for efficient calculation by halving the exponent at each step.

Furthermore, the video explains how to use built-in functions in languages like C++ and Python to compute the power in optimal time complexity. By using the pow() function or the ** operator, we can quickly compute the power with minimal computational cost. Watch the video to understand these methods and their time complexities, including O(e) for naive methods and O(log e) for divide and conquer.
