EXP (Exponential)
The EXP function returns e (the base of natural logarithms) raised to a power.
Syntax
EXP ( number )
Example
This example uses EXP to calculate the value of e. EXP( 1 ) is e raised to the power of 1.
Public ValueOfE,x,y 'Declare variables
BeginProg
'EXP(X) is e^x
'EXP(1) is e^1 or e.
ValueOfE = EXP( 1 ) 'Calculate value of e.
Scan(1,Sec,3,0)
Y=EXP(x) 'Calculate e^x.
NextScan
EndProg
Remarks
If the value of the Number argument exceeds 709.782712893, an overflow error occurs. The constant e is approximately 2.718282.
The EXP function complements the action of the LOG function and is sometimes referred to as the antilogarithm.
