Testing K^K == N?

Published by Helen Yu in

Write a function that returns true if k^k == n for input (n, k) and return false otherwise.

Examples

kToK(4, 2) ➞ true

kToK(387420489, 9) ➞ true
// 9^9 == 387420489

kToK(3124, 5) ➞ false

kToK(17, 3) ➞ false

Notes

The ^ operator refers to exponentiation operation, not the bitwise XOR operation.
