Project Euler 99:Largest exponential 最大的幂

Largest exponential

Comparing two numbers written in index form like 211 and 37 is not difficult, as any calculator would confirm that 211 = 2048 < 37 = 2187.

However, confirming that 632382518061 > 519432525806 would be much more difficult, as both numbers contain over three million digits.

Using base_exp.txt(right click and ‘Save Link/Target As…’), a 22K text file containing one thousand lines with a base/exponent pair on each line, determine which line number has the greatest numerical value.

NOTE: The first two lines in the file represent the numbers in the example given above.

最大的幂

比较两个如211和37这样写成幂的形式的数并不困难，任何计算器都能验证211 = 2048 < 37 = 2187。

然而，想要验证632382518061 > 519432525806就会变得非常困难，因为这两个数都包含有超过三百万位数字。

22K的文本文件base_exp.txt（右击并选择“目标另存为……”）有一千行，每一行有一对底数和指数，找出哪一行给出的幂的值最大。

注意：文件的前两行就是上述两个例子。

解题

指数运算太大了，取对数不就可以了

原函数和其反函数关于y=x对称，并且单调性一样。
