In this video, we delve into an efficient algorithm for calculating exponents, optimizing the process and significantly reducing time complexity. The problem at hand is to compute x raised to the power n, where x=2 and n=10 serves as our illustrative example. The conventional approach involves a loop that multiplies x with the answer variable n times, resulting in a time complexity of O(n).
However, we explore a faster solution that leverages the nature of exponentiation. By halving the problem when n is even, we transform the calculation of 2^10 into the more manageable 4^5. This strategy allows us to optimize the algorithm, achieving a logarithmic time complexity.
