/**
* @file
* @brief C++ Program for Modular Exponentiation Iteratively.
* @details The task is to calculate the value of an integer a raised to an
* integer exponent b under modulo c.
* @note The time complexity of this approach is O(log b).
*
* Example:
* (4^3) % 5 (where ^ stands for exponentiation and % for modulo)
* (4*4*4) % 5
* (4 % 5) * ( (4*4) % 5 )
* 4 * (16 % 5)
* 4 * 1
* 4
* We can also verify the result as 4^3 is 64 and 64 modulo 5 is 4
