Converting C-Strings to Integer If you want to convert a C-string (zero-terminated array of chars) of digits, you can call one of the library functions to do this (good idea), or write something like the following (good exercise). Character codes for digits Every character is represented by a pattern of bits. These patterns can be thought of as integers. If your system uses ASCII (or any of the newer standards), the integer value of the code for ‘0’ is 48, ‘1’ is 49, etc. [Read More]

Lets look at some solutions. Solution 1 - Using recursion int pow(int x, int y) { if(y == 1) return x ; return x \* pow(x, y-1) ; } Divide and Conquer C program /\* Function to calculate x raised to the power y \*/ int power(int x, unsigned int y) { if( y == 0) return 1; else if (y%2 == 0) return power(x, y/2)\*power(x, y/2); else return x\*power(x, y/2)\*power(x, y/2); } /\* Program to test function power \*/ int main() { int x = 2; unsigned int y = 3; printf("%d", power(x, y)); getchar(); return 0; } Time Complexity: O(n) [Read More]
