exp2, exp2f, exp2l

Computes 2 raised to the specified value.

Syntax

double exp2(
   double x
);

float exp2(
   float x
);  // C++ only

long double exp2(
   long double x
); // C++ only

float exp2f(
   float x
);

long double exp2l(
   long double x
);
#define exp2(X) // Requires C11 or higher

Parameters

x
The value of the exponent.

Return value

If successful, returns the base-2 exponent of x, that is, 2x. Otherwise, it returns one of the following values:

Issue Return
x = ±0 1
x = -INFINITY +0
x = +INFINITY +INFINITY
x = NaN NaN
Overflow range error +HUGE_VAL, +HUGE_VALF, or +HUGE_VALL
Underflow range error Correct result, after rounding

Errors are reported as specified in _matherr.

Remarks

Because C++ allows overloading, you can call overloads of exp2 that take and return float and long double types. In a C program, unless you're using the <tgmath.h> macro to call this function, exp2 always takes and returns a double, unless you use the macro in <tgmath.h>.

If you use the <tgmath.h> exp2() macro, the type of the argument determines which version of the function is selected. See Type-generic math for details.

By default, this function's global state is scoped to the application. To change this behavior, see Global state in the CRT.

Requirements

Routine C header C++ header
exp2, expf2, expl2 <math.h> <cmath>
exp2 macro <tgmath.h>
