Task #138 - Power it up

Implement a function pow in helper.js that takes two numbers and
returns the first number raised to the power of second number. Examples:

pow(2, 2) // 4
pow(2, 0) // 1
pow(0, 2) // 0

You can’t use Math.pow
Make sure you’re handling well situations where one of x or y is very big and the other is very small, particularly 0 or 1.
You shouldn’t waste computational resources in this case.
