Exponential Functions

Many routines in the Intel® C++ Compiler Classic Math Library are more optimized for Intel® microprocessors than for non-Intel microprocessors.

The mathimf.h header file includes prototypes for Intel® C++ Compiler Classic Math Library functions.

The math library supports the following exponential functions:

cbrt

Description: The exp function returns e raised to the x power, ex.

errno: ERANGE, for underflow and overflow conditions

Calling interface:
double exp(double x);
long double expl(long double x);
float expf(float x);

Description: The exp10 function returns 10 raised to the x power, 10x.

errno: ERANGE, for underflow and overflow conditions

Calling interface:
double exp10(double x);
long double exp10l(long double x);
float exp10f(float x);

exp2

Description: The exp2 function returns 2 raised to the x power, 2x.

errno: ERANGE, for underflow and overflow conditions

Calling interface:
