NAME¶
exp2, exp2f, exp2l - base-2 exponential function
LIBRARY¶
Math library (libm, -lm)
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <math.h>
double exp2(double x); float exp2f(float x); long double exp2l(long double x);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
exp2(), exp2f(), exp2l():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
DESCRIPTION¶
These functions return the value of 2 raised to the power of x.
RETURN VALUE¶
On success, these functions return the base-2 exponential value of x.
For various special cases, including the handling of infinity and NaN, as well as overflows and underflows, see exp(3).
ERRORS¶
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.
For a discussion of the errors that can occur for these functions, see exp(3).
ATTRIBUTES¶
