EXP2(3) Linux Programmer's Manual EXP2(3)
exp2, exp2f, exp2l - base-2 exponential function
#include <math.h>
double exp2(double x);
float exp2f(float x);
long double exp2l(long double x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
exp2(), exp2f(), exp2l():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
These functions return the value of 2 raised to the power of x.
On success, these functions return the base-2 exponential value of x.
For various special cases, including the handling of infinity and
NaN, as well as overflows and underflows, see exp(3).
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an
error has occurred when calling these functions.
For a discussion of the errors that can occur for these functions,
see exp(3).
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).
