NAME

exp, expf, expl - base-e exponential function

LIBRARY

Math library ( libm , -lm )

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

double exp(double x );
float expf(float x );
long double expl(long double x );

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros (7)):

expf (), expl ():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
|| /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

These functions return the value of e (the base of natural logarithms) raised to the power of x .

RETURN VALUE

On success, these functions return the exponential value of x .

If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

If x is positive infinity, positive infinity is returned.

If x is negative infinity, +0 is returned.

If the result underflows, a range error occurs, and zero is returned.

If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return + HUGE_VAL , + HUGE_VALF , or + HUGE_VALL , respectively.

ERRORS

See math_error (7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.

The following errors can occur:
Range error, overflow

errno is set to ERANGE . An overflow floating-point exception ( FE_OVERFLOW ) is raised.

Range error, underflow

errno is set to ERANGE . An underflow floating-point exception ( FE_UNDERFLOW ) is raised.

ATTRIBUTES

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes (7).
