Raises e to the power of the value of the input variable.

x—The value to be evaluated.

result—The natural exponential function of x.

None.

EXP is defined as:

If x is of double-precision floating-point or complex data type, EXP yields results of the same type. All other types yield a single-precision floating-point result.

EXP handles complex values in the following way:

where r is the real part of x, and i is the imaginary part of x. If x is an array, the result has the same dimensions as x, with each element containing the result for the corresponding element of x.

exp_of_1 = EXP(1)

PRINT, exp_of_1 

; PV-WAVE prints: 2.71828

exp_of_0 = EXP(0)

PRINT, exp_of_0 

; PV-WAVE prints: 1.00000

exp_of_10 = EXP(10)

PRINT, exp_of_10 

; PV-WAVE prints: 22026.5
