def binaryExponentiation(x: float, n: int) -> float:
"""
Function to calculate x raised to the power n (i.e., x^n) where x is a float number and n is an integer and it will return float value

Example 1:

Input: x = 2.00000, n = 10
Output: 1024.0
Example 2:

Input: x = 2.10000, n = 3

Okay

Output: 9.261000000000001

Example 3:

Input: x = 2.00000, n = -2
Output: 0.25
Explanation: 2^-2 = 1/(2^2) = 1/4 = 0.25
