Steps
Step 1 :The problem is asking for the value of , where is the imaginary unit and is an integer.
Step 2 :The imaginary unit is defined as , and it has a cyclic property: , , , and . After , the cycle repeats.
Step 3 :Therefore, we can simplify by using the cyclic property of .
Step 4 :The function first calculates the exponent , then it calculates the cyclic exponent by taking the modulus of the exponent and 4.
Step 5 :The function then returns the value of to the power of the cyclic exponent.
Step 6 : returns if is congruent to 1 modulo 4, -1 if is congruent to 2 modulo 4, - if is congruent to 3 modulo 4, and 1 if is congruent to 0 modulo 4.
Step 7 :
