expm1, expm1f, expm1l - compute exponential function

&pagelevel(4)&pagelevel

Syntax

#include <math.h>

double expm1(double x);
C11
float expm1f(float x);
long double expm1l(long double x); (End)

Description

These functions compute ex-1.0.

Return val.

e x -1.0

if successful.


HUGE_VAL
HUGE_VALF
HUGE_VALL

depending on the function type, if an overflow occurs. errno is set to indicate the error.

Errors

expm1(), expm1f() and expm1l() will fail if


ERANGE

Overflow; the return value is too high.

Notes

For small x values, the result of expm1(x) can be more accurate than the value of exp(x)-1.0. The functions expm1() and log1p() are helpful for computing the expression ((1+x) n -1)/x, in the format:
expm1(n*log1p(x))/x in the case of very small values of x.

This function can also be used to precisely represent inverse hyperbolic functions.
