/**
 * This algorithm is divide the n by 2 every time and pass this to recursive call to find the result of smaller result.
 * why? Because
 * x^n => [if n is even] x^(n / 2) * x^(n / 2) (example : 7^4 => 7^2 * 7^2)
 * [if n is odd] x^(n / 2) * x^(n / 2) * x (example : 7^5 => 7^2 * 7^2 * 7)
 * and repeat the above step until we reach to the base case.
 *
 * @function PowLogarithmic
 * @description Given two integers x and n, return x^n in logarithmic complexity.
 * @param {Integer} x - The input integer
 * @param {Integer} n - The input integer
 * @return {Integer} - Returns x^n.
