This is e^x where e = 2.71828...
For the curious, e is defined by the infinite sum: 2 + 1/(2) + 1/(2*3) + 1/(2*3*4) + 1/(2*3*4*5) + ... See also Log() |

; Exp example
; Exp(x) is the same as e^x. ; Actually, due to the approximate nature of floating point arithmetic ; these will not be exactly equal. But in the following example ; the difference is so small you can't see it. e# = 2.71828182845905 ; over-specified, might help and can't hurt. x# = .125 ; = 1/8 Print " x Exp(x) e^x " Print "======= ========= =========" For k = 1 To 7 Write " " + LSet( x , 7 ) Write RSet( Exp( x ), 10 ) Print RSet( e^x , 12 ) x = 2 * x Next WaitKey() : End |
