Java Program to Calculate the Power of a Number - The Coding Shala

Home >> Java Programs >> Power of a Number

 In this post, we will learn how to Calculate the Power of a Number using the loop and Math.pow() method in Java.

Java Program to Calculate the Power of a Number

You have given a number N ( base) and power p (exponent). Write a Java Program to Calculate the power of the number N.

Example 1:
Input: N = 3
          P = 4
Output: 81

Approach 1

Using loop.

Java Program: 

// Java program to calculate power of a number

public class Main {
	
	public static void main(String[] args) { 
		// inputs can be taken using scanner
		int base = 3;
		int exponent = 4;
		
		int power = 1;
		// using loop
		for(int i = 1; i <= exponent; i++) {
			power = power * base;
		}
		
		System.out.println("power(" + base + "," + exponent + ") is: " + power);
	}
}

Approach 2

We can also use Java's inbuilt Math.pow() method to calculate the power.

Java Program: 

// Java program to calculate power of a number

public class Main {
	
	public static void main(String[] args) { 
		// inputs can be taken using scanner
		int base = 3;
		int exponent = 4;
		
		// using Math.pow()
		// pow method will return double
		double power = Math.pow(base, exponent);
		
		System.out.println("power(" + base + "," + exponent + ") is: " + power);
	}
}

Binary Number with Alternating Bits LeetCode Solution - The Coding Shala

Home >> LeetCode >> Binary Number with Alternating Bits  In this post, we will learn how to solve LeetCode's Binary Number with Alternating Bits Problem and will implement its solution in Java. Binary Number with Alternating Bits Problem Given a positive integer, check whether it has alternating bits: namely if two adjacent bits will always have different values. Example 1: Input: n = 5 Output: true Explanation: The binary representation of 5 is: 101 Example 2: Input: n = 7 Output: false Explanation: The binary representation of 7 is: 111. LeetCode - Binary Number with Alternating Bits Java Solution Approach 1 Compare alternate bits. Java Program:  class Solution { public boolean hasAlternatingBits ( int n ) { int i = 31 ; //find first 1 bit from left side while ((( n >> i ) & 1 ) == 0 ) i --; int prevBit = ( n >> i ) & 1 ; i --; while ( i >...

Time Complexity, Space Complexity, Asymptotic Notations - The Coding Shala

Image
Home >> Algorithms >> Time and space complexity Time Complexity, Space Complexity, and Asymptotic Notations Time complexity describes the time taken by an algorithm and space complexity describes the memory used by an algorithm. Asymptotic Notations are languages that allow us to calculate time complexity and space complexity. Big O is most commonly used for time complexity or analysis of algorithms. Time Complexity In Computer Science, the time complexity of an algorithm quantifies the amount of time taken by an algorithm to run as a function of the length of the string representing the input. The time complexity of an algorithm is commonly expressed using big O notation, which excludes coefficients and lowers order terms.[From Wikipedia] In a simple way we can say how much time our code takes to execute.  So, How to calculate the running time of an algorithm? We can have three cases to analyze an algorithm: Worst Case Average Case Best C...

Java Program to Reverse a String using Stack - The Coding Shala

Home >> Java Programs >> Reverse a String using Stack  Hey there, welcome back to another post. In this post, we will learn how to reverse a string using a stack in Java. Java Program to Reverse a String using Stack As we know,  Stack data structure follows last in the first out (LIFO), so by using stack we can reverse a given string. For example:  Input: hello output: olleh After storing into stack Stack -> o l l e h Now print stack -> olleh Java Program:  import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.Stack; /** * https://www.thecodingshala.com/ */ public class Main { public static String doReverse(String str) { Stack<Character> stack = new Stack<>(); // push all characters into stack for ( int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) { stack.push(str.charAt(i)); } // pop characters from stack and build s...

Find Second Smallest Element in the Array - The Coding Shala

Home >> Programming >> Find Second Smallest Element in the Array  Hey there, welcome back to another post. In this post, we will learn how to find the second smallest number in the array in Java. Find Second Smallest Element in the Array Problem Statement You have given an integer array, return the second smallest element from the array if exists else return no second smallest element exists. Example 1:  Input: [1, 4, 2, 7, 90, -1, -4] Output: -1 Find Second Smallest Element in the Array Solution using Single Iteration Approach By using the below steps we can find the second smallest element in the array by using a single iteration: Initialize two variables first and second for smallest and second smallest numbers and the initial value will be Integer.MAX_VALUE. Traverse the array and check if the current element is smaller than the smallest element then update both first and second. If the current element is between first and second then only update...

Java Program to Find GCD or HCF of Two Numbers - The Coding Shala

Home >> Java Programs >> Find GCD of Two Numbers  Hey there, welcome back to another post. In this post, we will learn how to find GCD or HCF of Two Numbers in Java. Java Program to Find GCD or HCF of Two Numbers The GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) or HCF (Highest Common Factor) of two numbers is the largest number that divides both of them. For example:  Number1: 6 (2 * 3) Number2: 9 (3 * 3) GCD or HCF of 6 and 9 is: 3 Find GCD of Two Numbers in Java using for Loop As we already know, GCD is the largest number that divides both numbers. We can start a for loop from 1 (because 1 divides all the numbers) to both numbers and if it divides both numbers then update GCD. Java Program:  import java.util.Scanner; /** * https://www.thecodingshala.com/ */ public class Main { public static void findGCD( int num1, int num2) { int gcd = 1; if (num1 == 0) { gcd = num2; } if (num2 == 0) { ...
