exp

Interface Definition

C interface:

float expf(float x);

double exp(double x);

long double expl(long double x);

Fortran interface:

RES = EXPF(X);

RES = EXP(X);

Parameters

Return Value

• The result y of e raised to the power 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 0x1.62e42ep6 (about 88.72), the return value is +∞. If the input of exp is greater than or equal to 0x1p10 (1024), the return value is +∞.
• If the input of expf is less than -0x1.9fe368p6 (about -103.97), the return value is +0. If the input of exp is less than or equal to -0x1p10 (-1024), 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.
