Importance of Algorithm Complexity

To study the importance of algorithm complexity, let’s write two simple programs. Both the programs raise a number x to the power y.

Here's the first program: see the sample code for Program 1.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
function customPower(x, y) {
    let result = 1;
    for (let i = 0; i < y; i++) {
        result = result * x;
    }
    return result;
}
​
​
console.log(customPower(3, 4));

OUTPUT
