Talk:Exponentiating by squaring

 power(x,n) is computed as long as n is not negative
     assign 1 to result
     as long as n is positive
        assign x*x to x if n is even
        assign result*x to result if n is odd
        assign the truncated to next integer of n diveded by 2 to n

     return result

Never mind, and there is even an error in my algorithm, really well done Robert, sorry for the noise :(
