EXP - Query language in Cosmos DB (in Azure and Fabric)

The EXP function calculates the exponential value of the specified numeric expression.

Syntax

EXP(<numeric_expr>)

Arguments

	Description
numeric_expr	A numeric expression.

Return types

Returns a numeric expression.

Examples

This section contains examples of how to use this query language construct.

Exponential values

In this example, the EXP function is used to calculate e raised to various powers.

SELECT VALUE {
  expontentialZero: EXP(0),
  exponentialTen: EXP(10),
  exponentialTwenty: EXP(20)
}

[
  {
    "expontentialZero": 1,
    "exponentialTen": 22026.465794806718,
    "exponentialTwenty": 485165195.4097903
  }
]

Remarks

• The constant e (2.718281…), is the base of natural logarithms.
• The exponent of a number is the constant e raised to the power of the number. For example, EXP(1.0) = e^1.0 = 2.71828182845905 and EXP(10) = e^10 = 22026.4657948067.
• The exponential of the natural logarithm of a number is the number itself EXP (LOG (n)) = n. And the natural logarithm of the exponential of a number is the number itself LOG (EXP (n)) = n.
