For large k shows wrong ans

#1


code is working fine for smaller values. please check.

#2

@Krishna-Singh-2678805765519156 dont typecaste the power to int

#3

it is working but can you tell me the reason why?

#4

@Krishna-Singh-2678805765519156 if the value of mid is high pow can return a really high value, if you typecaste it to int it might end up as a completely different number altogether and mess up the binary search

#5

you mean it will go out of the range of int or even long long,but as pow returns double it can hold that large value also? thanx a lot for clearing this deeper concept

@Krishna-Singh-2678805765519156 yes that’s correct! it will work fine as long as we dont typecaste it explcitly (like you did) or implicitly(by assigning it to some variable )
