{{task|Knuth's power tree}}

(Knuth's power tree is used for computing xn efficiently using Knuth's power tree.)

;task requirements:

Compute and show the list of Knuth's power tree integers necessary for the computation of:

::* xn for any real x and any non-negative integer n.

Then, using those integers, calculate and show the exact (not approximate) value of (at least) the integer powers below:

::* 2n where n ranges from 0 ──► 17 (inclusive)

::* 3191 ::* 1.181

A zero power is often handled separately as a special case.

Optionally, support negative integers (for the power).

;example:

An example of a small power tree for some low integers:

Where, for the power 43, following the tree "downwards" from 1: ::* (for 2) compute square of X, store X2 ::* (for 3) compute X * X2, store X3 ::* (for 5) compute X3 * X2, store X5 ::* (for 10) compute square of X5, store X10 ::* (for 20) compute square of X10, store X20 ::* (for 40) compute square of X20, store X40 ::* (for 43) compute X40 * X3 (result).

Note that for every even integer (in the power tree), one just squares the previous value.

For an odd integer, multiply the previous value with an appropriate odd power of X (which was previously calculated). For the last multiplication in the above example, it would be (43-40), or 3.

According to Dr. Knuth (see below), computer tests have shown that this power tree gives optimum results for all of the ''n'' listed above in the graph.

For ''n'' ≤ 100,000, the power tree method: ::* bests the factor method 88,803 times, ::* ties 11,191 times, ::* loses 6 times.

Power tree

We build the tree using '''tree.lib''', adding leaves until the target n is found.


(lib 'tree)

;; displays a chain hit
(define (power-hit target chain)
	(vector-push chain target)
	(printf "L(%d) = %d - chain:%a "
		target (1- (vector-length chain)) chain)
	(vector-pop chain))
	
;; build the power-tree : add 1 level of leaf nodes
;; display all chains which lead to target

(define (add-level node chain  target  nums (new))
(vector-push chain (node-datum node))
	(cond 
	[(node-leaf? node)
	;; add leaves by summing this node to all nodes in chain
	;; do not add leaf if number already known
			 (for [(prev chain)] 
			 		(set! new (+ prev (node-datum node)))
			 		(when (= new target) (power-hit target chain ))
			 		#:continue (vector-search* new nums)
			 		(node-add-leaf node new)
			 		(vector-insert* nums new)
			 		)]
	[else ;; not leaf node -> recurse
	(for [(son  (node-sons node))]
		(add-level son chain target nums )) ])
	(vector-pop chain))
	
;; add levels in tree until target found
;; return (number of nodes . upper-bound for L(target))
(define (power-tree target)
	(define nums (make-vector 1 1)) ;; known nums =  1
	(define T (make-tree 1)) ;; root node has value 1
	(printf "Looking for %d in %a." target T)
	(while #t

This task is a bit verbose...

We can represent the tree as a list of indices. Each entry in the list gives the value of n for the index a+n. (We can find a using subtraction.)

Note that an 'r' in a number indicates a rational number with the numerator to the left of the r and the denominator to the right of the r. We could instead use decimal notation by indicating how many characters of result we want to see, as well as how many characters to the right of the decimal point we want to see.

Thus, for example:

## Perl 6

Paths are random. It is possible replace .pick(*) with .reverse if you want paths as in Perl, or remove it for Python paths.

```perl6
use v6;

sub power-path ($n ) {
    state @unused_nodes = (2,);
    state @power-tree = (False,0,1);
    
    until @power-tree[$n].defined {
        my $node = @unused_nodes.shift;

        for  $node X+ power-path($node).pick(*) {
            next if @power-tree[$_].defined;
            @unused_nodes.push($_);
            @power-tree[$_]= $node;
        }        
    }

    ( $n, { @power-tree[$_] } ...^ 0 ).reverse;
}

multi power ( $, 0 ) { 1 };
multi power ( $n, $exponent ) {
    state  %p;
    my     %r =  %p{$n}  // ( 0 => 1, 1 => $n ) ;  

    for power-path( $exponent ).rotor( 2 => -1 ) -> ( $p, $c ) {
        %r{ $c } = %r{ $p } * %r{ $c - $p }
    }

    %p{$n} := %r ;
    %r{ $exponent }
}

say 'Power paths: ',      pairs map *.&power-path,    ^18;
say '2 ** key = value: ', pairs map { 2.&power($_) }, ^18; 

say 'Path for 191: ', power-path 191;
