Computes the base 2 exponential.

The exp2, exp2f, exp2l, exp2d32, exp2d64, and exp2d128 subroutines compute the base 2 exponential of the x parameter.
An application wishing to check for error situations should set the errno global variable to zero and call feclearexcept (FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these subroutines. On return, if errno is nonzero or fetestexcept (FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is nonzero, an error has occurred.
Item | Description |
---|---|
x | Specifies the base 2 exponential to be computed. |
Upon successful completion, the exp2, exp2f, exp2l, exp2d32, exp2d64, or exp2d128 subroutine returns 2x .
If the correct value causes overflow, a range error occurs and the exp2, exp2f, exp2l, exp2d32, exp2d64, and exp2d128 subroutines return the value of the macro (HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, HUGE_VALL, HUGE_VAL_D32, HUGE_VAL_D64, and HUGE_VAL_D128 respectively).
If the correct value causes underflow and is not representable, a range error occurs, and 0.0 is returned.
If x is NaN, NaN is returned.
If x is ±0, 1 is returned.
If x is -Inf, 0 is returned.
If x is +Inf, x is returned.
If the correct value would cause underflow, and is representable, a range error may occur and the correct value is returned.
