Power Function¶

gsl_sf_pow_int(x, n)¶

This routine computes the power \(x^n\) for integer \(n\). The power is computed using the minimum number of multiplications. For example, \(x^8\) is computed as \(((x^2)^2)^2\), requiring only 3 multiplications. For reasons of efficiency, these functions do not check for overflow or underflow conditions.

# compute and print 3**12
