So, I am new to programming in c++ and i came across this question where i need to calculate pow(2,n)/2 where n>64 ?
i tried using unsigned long long int but as the limit of the c++ is only 2^64. So is there any method to calculate this.
Edit:
1 < n < 10^5
The result of the expression is used in further calculation
The question is asked on online platform.So, i cant use libraries like gmp to handle large numbers.
Question
You are given with an array A of size N. An element Ai is said to be charged if its value (Ai) is greater than or equal to Ki. Ki is the total number of subsets of array A that consist of element Ai.
Total charge value of the array is defined as summation of all charged elements present in the array mod (10^9)+7.
Your task is to output the total charge value of the given array.
An important detail here is that you're not being asked to compute 2n for gigantic n. Instead, you're being asked to compute 2n mod 109 + 7 for large n, and that's a different question.
For example, let's suppose you want to compute 270 mod 109 + 1. Notice that 270 doesn't fit into a 64-bit machine word. However, 270 = 230 · 235, and 235 does fit into a 64-bit machine word. Therefore, we could do this calculation to get 270 mod 109 + 7:
270 (mod 109 + 7)
= 235 · 235 (mod 109 + 7)
= (235 mod 109 + 7) · (235 mod 109 + 7) mod 109 + 7
= (34359738368 mod 109 + 7) · (34359738368 mod 109 + 7) mod 109 + 7
= (359738130 · 359738130) mod 109 + 7
= 129411522175896900 mod 109 + 7
= 270016253
More generally, by using repeated squaring, you can compute 2n mod 109 + 7 for any value of n in a way that nicely fits into a 64-bit integer.
Hope this helps!
