/* Exponentiation by squaring. Fast exponential in logarithmic time. O(log n)
 * Exponentiation by squaring is a general method for fast computation of large positive integer powers of a number.
 * It is based on the observation that, if the exponent n is even, then x^n = (x^2)^(n/2).
 * If n is odd, then x^n = x * x^(n-1).
 *      {\displaystyle x^{n}={\begin{cases}x\,(x^{2})^{(n-1)/2},&{\mbox{if }}n{\mbox{ is odd}}\\(x^{2})^{n/2},&{\mbox{if }}n{\mbox{ is even}}\end{cases}}}

 * This allows to divide the exponentiation process into two recursive steps.
 * The algorithm is as follows:
 * 1. If the exponent is 0, return 1.
 * 2. If the exponent is even, return the square of the result of
 *      recursively raising the base to the power of half the exponent.
 * 3. If the exponent is odd, return the base times the square of the result of
 *      recursively raising the base to the power of half the exponent.
 * 4. If the exponent is negative then we can reuse the previous formula by
 *      rewriting the value using a positive exponent:
 *      {\displaystyle x^{n}=\left({\frac {1}{x}}\right)^{-n}\,.}
 *      https://gabriel-vanca.github.io/mathjax-viewer/?input=%7B%5Cdisplaystyle+x%5E%7Bn%7D%3D%5Cleft%28%7B%5Cfrac+%7B1%7D%7Bx%7D%7D%5Cright%29%5E%7B-n%7D%5C%2C.%7D
 * The algorithm is implemented iteratively to avoid the overhead of recursive function calls.
 * The algorithm has a time complexity of O(log n) and a space complexity of O(log n).
 * The algorithm can be used to calculate:
 *      - the modular exponentiation of a number
 *             The modular exponentiation of a number is the remainder of the number raised
 *             to the power of the exponent divided by a modulus.
 *      - combinatorics
 *      - Fibonacci numbers
 *      - matrix exponentiation
 *      - number of paths of length k in a graph
