NAME
exp2, exp2f, exp2l - base-2 exponential function
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double exp2(double x);
float exp2f(float x);
long double exp2l(long double x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
exp2(),
exp2f(),
exp2l():
_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE; or
cc -std=c99
DESCRIPTION
The
exp2()
function returns 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
