In this C++ tutorial, you will learn how to find exponential of a given number using exp() function of cmath, with syntax and examples.
C++ exp()
C++ exp() returns exponential (e) raised to given number (argument).
exp(x) = e^x
Syntax
The syntax of C++ exp() is
exp(x)
where
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| x | A double, float, long double, or any integral type value. |
Returns
The return value depends on the type of value passed for parameter x.
The return value of exp(x) is
- double if x is double or integral type.
- float if x is float.
- long double if x is long double.
The synopsis of exp() function is
double exp(double x); float exp(float x); long double exp(long double x); double exp(T x); // for integral type argument values
exp() is a function of cmath library. Include cmath library in the program, if using exp() function.
Example
In this example, we read a value from user into variable x, and find exponential raised to this number x, using exp() function.
C++ Program
#include <iostream>
#include<cmath>
using namespace std;
int main() {
double x;
cout << "Enter a number : ";
cin >> x;
double result = exp(x);
cout << "exp(" << x << ") : " << result << endl;
} Output
Enter a number : 1 exp(1) : 2.71828 Program ended with exit code: 0
Enter a number : 0 exp(0) : 1 Program ended with exit code: 0
Enter a number : 10 exp(10) : 22026.5 Program ended with exit code: 0
Conclusion
In this C++ Tutorial, we learned the syntax of C++ exp(), and how to use this function to find exponential (e) raised to given number, with the help of examples.
