SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

double exp(double x)

double exp2(double x)

float expf(float x)

float exp2f(float x)

double expm1(double x)

float expm1f(float x)

---

DESCRIPTION

The exp() function computes the exponent of x, e^x.

The exp2() and exp2f() functions compute the base 2 exponential of the given argument x.

The expm1() function returns e^x-1.0.

To check for error situations, set errno to 0 before calling exp(). If errno is non-zero on return, or the return value is NaN, an error has occurred.

The expf() and expm1f() functions are single-precision versions of exp() and expm1().

---

PARAMETERS

x 

Is a floating point value.

---

RETURN VALUES

The exp() function returns e^x.

The exp2() function returns 2^x.

The expm1() function returns e^x-1.0.

If the return value would overflow, one of the following occurs:

• In IEEE mode, Inf is returned.

• In POSIX mode, Inf is returned and errno is set to ERANGE.

• In SVID mode, HUGE_VAL is returned and matherr() is called.

• In XOPEN mode, Inf is returned and matherr() is called.

If the return value would underflow, 0.0 is returned and:

• In POSIX mode, errno is set to ERANGE.

• In SVID or XOPEN mode, matherr() is called.

If x is NaN, NaN is returned.

CONFORMANCE

exp(): ANSI/ISO 9899-1990

exp2() and expm1(): ANSI/ISO 9899:1999 'ISO C99'.

expf(), expm1f(): PTC MKS Toolkit UNIX APIs extension

---

MULTITHREAD SAFETY LEVEL

MT-Safe.

---

PORTING ISSUES

At high levels of compiler optimizations, the hardware handles the exp() function intrinsically. In such cases, mathematical exceptions do not cause the matherr() function to be called or the errno value to be set.
