(** * Power functions over [Z] *)
(** Nota : this file is mostly deprecated. The definition of [Z.pow] and its usual properties are now provided by module [BinInt.Z]. Powers of 2 are also available there (see [Z.shiftl] and [Z.shiftr]). Only remain here: - [Zpower_nat] : a power function with a [nat] exponent - old-style powers of two, such as [two_p] - [Zdiv_rest] : a division + modulo when the divisor is a power of 2 *)
(** [Zpower_nat z n] is the n-th power of [z] when [n] is an unary integer (type [nat]) and [z] a signed integer (type [Z]) *)
Definition Zpower_nat (z:Z) := nat_rect _ 1 (fun _ => Z.mul z).

Theorem Zpower_nat_Zpower z n : 0 <= n ->
z^n = Zpower_nat z (Z.abs_nat n).
