- <a name="index-exp"></a>
- <a name="index-expf"></a>
- <p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
- </p><div class="example">
- <pre class="example">#include <math.h>
- double exp(double <var>x</var>);
- float expf(float <var>x</var>);
-
- </pre></div>
- <p><strong>Description</strong><br>
- <code>exp</code> and <code>expf</code> calculate the exponential of <var>x</var>, that is,
- e raised to the power <var>x</var> (where e
- is the base of the natural system of logarithms, approximately 2.71828).
- </p>
- <br>
- <p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
- On success, <code>exp</code> and <code>expf</code> return the calculated value.
- If the result underflows, the returned value is <code>0</code>. If the
- result overflows, the returned value is <code>HUGE_VAL</code>. In
- either case, <code>errno</code> is set to <code>ERANGE</code>.
- </p>
- <br>
- <p><strong>Portability</strong><br>
- <code>exp</code> is ANSI C. <code>expf</code> is an extension.
