326. Power of Three

Easy

Given an integer n, return true if it is a power of three. Otherwise, return false.

An integer n is a power of three, if there exists an integer x such that n == 3x.

Example 1:

Input: n = 27

Output: true

Example 2:

Input: n = 0

Output: false

Example 3:

Input: n = 9

Output: true

Follow up: Could you solve it without loops/recursion?

Solution

public class Solution {
    // regular method that has a loop
    public boolean isPowerOfThree(int n) {
        if (n < 3 && n != 1) {
            return false;
        }
        while (n != 1) {
            if (n % 3 != 0) {
                return false;
            }
            n /= 3;
        }
        return true;
    }
}
