How to implement the power function in JavaScript

Answer 1

function pow(base, exponent) {
    let result = 1;
     
    while (exponent) {
        if (exponent & 1) {
            result *= base;
        }
        exponent >>= 1;
        base *= base;
    }
    
    return result;
}
 
 
console.log(pow(2, 3));  // 8
console.log(pow(3, 3));  // 27
console.log(pow(3, 2));  // 9
console.log(pow(2, 2));  // 4
console.log(pow(5, 2));  // 25
console.log(pow(-2, 4)); // 16


 
/*
