Tutorial

As all the numbers are pretty large, we need to use a fast algorithm to make sure it’s quick enough. 1. Binary exponentiation is an efficient way of computing large powers of a number. It reduces the number of multiplications required to compute the power, which makes it faster than the traditional method of looping from 1 through n and multiplying the result by x.

The binary exponentiation algorithm is based on the following mathematical observation: if we have a number x raised to the power of n, then can be represented as:
  • if n is even
  • if n is odd
This actually makes the process of calculating the way faster as we can calculate the once and then multiply the result twogether. So, the algorithm can look like this:
def binpow(x, n, m):
    if n == 0:                        # Base case: x^0 = 1
        return 1
    if n % 2 == 0:                    # n is even => calculate half and multiply
        half = binpow(x, n // 2, m)   # calculate the half
        return (half * half) % m      # res = x^(n/2) * x^(n/2)

    # n is odd => res = x * x^(n-1)
    return (x * binpow(x, n - 1, m)) % m
With binary exponentiation, we reduce the time complexity from operations to as we split n on every iteration where n is even. It’s important to note that for each operation where n is odd, for the next iteration n is even.
Let’s simulate the algorithm on several inputs:
x = 2, n = 10 (we discard m for simplicity)
  1. [n = 10] β†’ n % 2 == 0 β‡’ calculate binpow(2, 5)
  1. [n = 5] β†’ n % 2 β‰  0 β‡’ return 2 * binpow(2, 4)
  1. [n = 4] β†’ n % 2 == 0 β‡’ calculate binpow(2, 2)
  1. [n = 2] β†’ n % 2 == 0 β‡’ calculate binpow(2, 1)
  1. [n = 1] β‡’ n % 2 β‰  0 β‡’ return 2 * binpow(2, 0)
  1. [n = 0] β‡’ n == 0 β‡’ return 1
  1. [up to n = 1] β‡’ return 2 * 1 = 2
  1. [up to n = 2] β‡’ return 2 * 2 = 4
  1. [up to n = 4] β‡’ return 4 * 4 = 16
  1. [up to n = 5] β‡’ return 2 * 16 β‡’ 32
  1. [up to n = 10] β‡’ return 32 * 32 = 1024
