EXP(3) Linux Programmer's Manual EXP(3)

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.
