Power of Three

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 == 3^x.

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

Example 1
Inputn = 27
Outputtrue
27 = 3^3.
Example 2
Inputn = 0
Outputfalse
There is no x where 3^x = 0.

Constraints

  • -2^31 <= n <= 2^31 - 1
