EXP

Section: Linux Programmer's Manual (3)
Updated: 2017-09-15

NAME

exp, expf, expl - base-e exponential function  

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

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

Link with -lm.

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 versions <= 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.

CONFORMING TO

C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
