C exp()

The exp() function defined in the math.h header file. It helps to returns e raised to the power of the given argument. The value of e is equal to 2.71828.


double exp( double argument ); #where argument should be a double value

 

exp() Parameters:

The exp() function takes a single parameter. The exp(x) in C programming is equal to the mathematical representation of ex.

Parameter Description Required / Optional
argument a double value Required

exp() Return Value

The return value of exp() function is the exponential value of giving argument it should be a double value.

Input Return Value
double value exponential value in double

Examples of exp()

Example 1: Working of exp() function in C?


#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main() {
  double k = 12.0, output;
  output = exp(k);
  printf("The exponential value of %.2lf = %.2lf", k, output);
  return 0;
}

Output:


The exponential value of 12.00 = 162754.79
 

Example 2: How exp() function worked in C?


#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main () {
   double k = 0;
  
   printf("Exponential value of %lf is %lf\n", k, exp(k));
   printf("Exponential value of %lf is %lf\n", k+1, exp(k+1));
   printf("Exponential value of %lf is %lf\n", k+2, exp(k+2));
   
   return(0);
}

Output:


Exponential value of 0.000000 is 1.000000
Exponential value of 1.000000 is 2.718282
Exponential value of 2.000000 is 7.389056
