Improve power.py (#12567)
* Fix And Add power.py

To fix the inaccuracies and allow handling of negative exponents and bases, the key issue lies in how negative numbers are handled in the power calculation, especially when dividing.
## Example Output:
```python
>>> power(4, 6)
4096
>>> power(2, 3)
8
>>> power(-2, 3)
-8
>>> power(2, -3)
0.125
>>> power(-2, -3)
-0.125
```
