    I.e., if a number x is too large for a representation () the power tower can be made one higher, replacing x by log 10 x, or find x from the lower-tower representation of the log 10 of the whole number. If the power tower would contain one or more numbers different from 10, the two approaches would lead to different results, corresponding to ...

    x 1 = x; x 2 = x 2 for i = k - 2 to 0 do if n i = 0 then x 2 = x 1 * x 2; x 1 = x 1 2 else x 1 = x 1 * x 2; x 2 = x 2 2 return x 1 The algorithm performs a fixed sequence of operations ( up to log n ): a multiplication and squaring takes place for each bit in the exponent, regardless of the bit's specific value.

    This is generally used to denote powers of 10. Where n is positive, this indicates the number of zeros after the number, and where the n is negative, this indicates the number of decimal places before the number. As an example: 10 5 = 100,000 [1] 10 −5 = 0.00001 [2]
