StrictMath.Expm1(Double) Method

Definition

Returns e<sup>x</sup>&nbsp;-1.

[Android.Runtime.Register("expm1", "(D)D", "")]
public static double Expm1 (double x);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("expm1", "(D)D", "")>]
static member Expm1 : double -> double

Parameters

x
Double

the exponent to raise e to in the computation of e<sup>x</sup>&nbsp;-1.

Returns

the value e<sup>x</sup>&nbsp;-&nbsp;1.

Attributes

Remarks

Returns e<sup>x</sup>&nbsp;-1. Note that for values of x near 0, the exact sum of expm1(x)&nbsp;+&nbsp;1 is much closer to the true result of e<sup>x</sup> than exp(x).

Special cases: <ul> <li>If the argument is NaN, the result is NaN.

<li>If the argument is positive infinity, then the result is positive infinity.

<li>If the argument is negative infinity, then the result is -1.0.

<li>If the argument is zero, then the result is a zero with the same sign as the argument.
