LASTDIG - The last digit
Nestor was doing the work of his math class about three days but he is tired of make operations a lot and he should deliver his task tomorrow. His math’s teacher gives him two numbers a and b. The problem consist of finding the last digit of the potency of base a and index b. Help Nestor with his problem. You are given two integer numbers: the base a (0 <= a <= 20) and the index b (0 <= b <= 2,147,483,000), a and b both are not 0. You have to find the last digit of ab.
Input
The first line of input contains an integer t, the number of test cases (t <= 30). t test cases follow. For each test case will appear a and b separated by space.
Output
For each test case output an integer per line representing the result.
Example
Input: 2 3 10 6 2
Output: 9 6

there occurs a pattern in the power of digits one needs to find that and its done |

you can easily do the solution in O(4) space and O(4) time if you keep track of pattern in last digit .

Hint: The pattern repeats for every 4 powers of last digit of 'a'. Such a simple but tricky one. Observe the pattern. |

power function will not work here. a^b can't be dealt with primitive data types. Use mathematical properties and that's it!! |

Can someone explain the procedure to solve it without pow(). THanks |

Your source code shouldn't occupy more than 700 bytes, so remove unnecessary header files, whitespace etc. Easy problem, try to observe pattern. No need of using pow() function. |

reduce the size of code by eliminating comments and whitespace to avoid size limit.
