This approach involves successively dividing the number n by 4 to check if it results in 1. If n is a power of four, repeatedly dividing it by 4 should eventually reduce it to 1 with no remainder.
Time Complexity: O(log4 n) due to repeated division.
Space Complexity: O(1) because no additional space is used.

This approach harnesses logarithms to determine if a number is a power of four. For a number n to be a power of four, the logarithm base 4 of n should be an integer. Utilizing the change of base formula, this can be checked without directly using base 4 logarithm functions.
Time Complexity: O(1) as logarithmic operations are constant time.
Space Complexity: O(1).
