exp#

Synopsis#

#include <math.h>

double exp(double x);

float expf(float x);

long double expl(long double x);

Status#

Partially implemented

Conformance#

IEEE Std 1003.1-2017

Description#

These functions shall compute the base e exponential of x.

An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error has occurred.

Return value#

Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the exponential value of x.

If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error shall occur and exp(), expf(), and expl() shall return the value of the macro HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, and HUGE_VALL, respectively.
If the correct value would cause underflow, and is not representable, a range error may occur, and exp(), expf(), and expl() shall return 0.0, or (if the IEC 60559 Floating-Point option is not supported) an implementation-defined value no greater in magnitude than DBL_MIN, FLT_MIN, and LDBL_MIN, respectively.
If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
If x is ±0, 1 shall be returned.
If x is -Inf, +0 shall be returned.
If x is +Inf, x shall be returned.
If the correct value would cause underflow, and is representable, a range error may occur, and the correct value shall be returned.

Errors#

These functions shall fail if:

Range Error - The result overflows.

If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to ERANGE. If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the overflow floating-point exception shall be raised.

These functions may fail if:

Range Error - The result underflows.
