exp

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

expCalculates the exponent of e

Description

float exp ( float $arg )

Returns e raised to the power of arg.

Note:

'e' is the base of the natural system of logarithms, or approximately 2.718282.

Parameters

arg

The argument to process

Return Values

'e' raised to the power of arg

Examples

Example #1 exp() example

<?php
echo exp(12) . "\n";
echo 
exp(5.7);
?>

The above example will output:

1.6275E+005
298.87

PHP does not have the following math function in any extensions:

frexp() - Extract Mantissa and Exponent of the Floating-Point Value

I've digged many C source codes, and found the simplest implementation as follows:

<?php

function frexp $float ) {

 
$exponent = ( floor(log($float2)) + );
 
$mantissa = ( $float pow(2, -$exponent) );

  return(
    array(
$mantissa$exponent)
  );

}

print_r(frexp(0.0345));
print_r(frexp(21.539));

?>

Array
(
    [0] => 0.552
    [1] => -4
)
Array
(
    [0] => 0.67309375
    [1] => 5
)

I have compared the results using a lot of floats against C's frexp function - they are the same.

Note that C and PHP uses different float precisions, for example "4619.3" gives:

C: 0.56387939453125, 13
PHP: 0.563879394531, 13
