exp

Interface Definition

C interface:

float expf(float x);

double exp(double x);

Fortran interface:

RES = EXPF(X);

RES = EXP(X);

Parameters

Return Value

• The base-e exponential y of x is returned. y ∈ (0, +INF)
• If the input is +0, the return value is +1.
• If the input is -0, the return value is +1.
• If the input of expf is greater than 0x1.62e42ep6f (about 88), the return value is +∞. If the input of exp is greater than 0x1.62p9 (about 708), the return value is +∞.
• If the input of expf is less than -0x1.9fe368p6f (about -104), the return value is +0. If the input value of exp is less than -0x1.62p9 (about -708), the return value is +0.
• If the input is +∞, the return value is +∞.
• If the input is -∞, the return value is +0.
• If the input is NaN, the return value is NaN.

Examples

C interface:

    double pi = acos(-1); 
    // typical usage 
    double x1 = pi/2, x2 = 2.0; 
    // special handing 
    double a = 0.0, b = INFINITY, c = -INFINITY, d = NAN, e = 710.0; 
    // print result 
    printf("exp(pi/2) = %.15f\n", exp(x1)); 
    printf("exp(2.0) = %.15f\n", exp(x2)); 
    printf("exp(710.0) = %.15f\n", exp(e)); 
    printf("exp(0.0) = %.15f\n", exp(a)); 
    printf("exp(INFINITY) = %.15f\n", exp(b)); 
    printf("exp(-INFINITY) = %.15f\n", exp(c)); 
    printf("exp(NAN) = %.15f\n", exp(d));
