EXP() Calculate e**x ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Syntax EXP(<nExponent>) --> nAntilogarithm Arguments <nExponent> is the natural logarithm for which a numeric value is to be calculated. Returns EXP() returns a numeric value that is equivalent to the value e raised to the specified power. Description EXP() is a mathematical function that calculates the value, y, (the antilogarithm) of the following equation, e**x = y where e is the base of natural logarithms (2.71828...) and x is <nExponent>. The maximum value of <nExponent> is 45 before a numeric overflow occurs. EXP() and LOG() are inverse functions. The number of decimal places displayed is determined solely by SET DECIMALS regardless of the current SET FIXED value. Examples . This example demonstrates several invocations of EXP(): ? EXP(1) // Result: 2.72 SET DECIMALS TO 10 ? EXP(1) // Result: 2.7182818285 ? LOG(EXP(1)) // Result: 1.0000000000 Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB.
