UVA - 748 Exponentiation

Problems involving the computation of exact values of very large magnitude and precision are common. For example, the computation of the national debt is a taxing experience for many computer systems.

This problem requires that you write a program to compute the exact value of Rⁿ where R is a real number (0.0 < R < 99.999) and n is an integer such that 0 < n ≤ 25.

Input

The input will consist of a set of pairs of values for R and n. The R value will occupy columns 1 through 6, and the n value will be in columns 8 and 9.

Output

The output will consist of one line for each line of input giving the exact value of Rⁿ. Leading zeros and insignificant trailing zeros should be suppressed in the output.

Sample Input

95.123 12
0.4321 20
5.1234 15
6.7592  9
98.999 10
1.0100 12

有趣的大数幂运算，如果直接用BigDecimal的话会错误，需要进行一点小小的处理。

import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main{

    public static BigDecimal fun(BigDecimal num, int n) {
        if( n==1 ) return num;
        if( n%2==0 ) return fun(num,n/2).multiply(fun(num,n/2));
        else return fun(num,n/2).multiply(fun(num,n/2)).multiply(num);
    }

    static Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        BigDecimal a;

            n = sc.nextInt();
            String ans = "";
            ans = fun(a,n).stripTrailingZeros().toPlainString();
            if(ans.charAt(0) == '0') {
                int i;
                for(i=0; i<ans.length(); i++)

                        break;
