Calculating powers of integers

When it’s power of 2. Take in mind, that you can use simple and fast shift expression 1 << exponent

example:

2² = 1 << 2 = (int) Math.pow(2, 2)
2¹⁰ = 1 << 10 = (int) Math.pow(2, 10)

For larger exponents (over 31) use long instead

2³² = 1L << 32 = (long) Math.pow(2, 32)

btw. in Kotlin you have shl instead of << so

(java) 1L << 32 = 1L shl 32 (kotlin)
