std::exp2, std::exp2f, std::exp2l

float       exp2 ( float num );
double      exp2 ( double num );
long double exp2 ( long double num );

/* floating-point-type */
            exp2 ( /* floating-point-type */ num );

float       exp2f( float num );

long double exp2l( long double num );

template< class Integer >
double      exp2 ( Integer num );

Parameters

Return value

If no errors occur, the base-2 exponential of num (2^num) is returned.

If a range error due to overflow occurs, +HUGE_VAL, +HUGE_VALF, or +HUGE_VALL is returned.

If a range error occurs due to underflow, the correct result (after rounding) is returned.

Error handling

Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),

• If the argument is ±0, 1 is returned.
• If the argument is -∞, +0 is returned.
• If the argument is +∞, +∞ is returned.
• If the argument is NaN, NaN is returned.

Notes

The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as (A). They only need to be sufficient to ensure that for their argument num of integer type, std::exp2(num) has the same effect as std::exp2(static_cast<double>(num)).

Example

#include <cerrno>
#include <cfenv>
#include <cmath>
#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
 
// #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << "exp2(4) = " << std::exp2(4) << '\n'
              << "exp2(0.5) = " << std::exp2(0.5) << '\n'
              << "exp2(-4) = " << std::exp2(-4) << '\n';
 
    // special values
    std::cout << "exp2(-0) = " << std::exp2(-0.0) << '\n'
              << "exp2(-Inf) = " << std::exp2(-INFINITY) << '\n';
 
    // error handling
    errno = 0;
    std::feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
 
    std::cout << "exp2(1024) = " << std::exp2(1024) << '\n';
 
    if (errno == ERANGE)
        std::cout << "    errno == ERANGE: " << std::strerror(errno) << '\n';
    if (std::fetestexcept(FE_OVERFLOW))
        std::cout << "    FE_OVERFLOW raised\n";
}

exp2(4) = 16
exp2(0.5) = 1.41421
exp2(-4) = 0.0625
exp2(-0) = 1
exp2(-Inf) = 0
exp2(1024) = inf
    errno == ERANGE: Numerical result out of range
    FE_OVERFLOW raised
