Write pseudo-code for each of the following two algorithms to raise an integer to an integer power. In both cases, assume n = 2m. Analyze the run-time complexity of each algorithm in terms of the number of multiplications performed (determine Θ(n)). (a) Nave: x^n = x * x^(n-1) x^0 = 1 (b) Repeated Squaring: x^n = (x^{n/2})^2 x^0 = 1
