EXP Exponent of E pp 140
Syntax: Exp (NumVar) ;
Type: Real
Form: Function
Purpose: e (2.7182818285) raised to the NumVar power.
Notes: The log of NumVar is the inverse of the Exp of NumVar.
Ln (Exp(1)) = 1
NumVar must be a positive number.
Details:
Laws: a^0 = 1
a^x * a^y = a^(x+y)
(ab)^x = a^x * b^x
(a^x)^y = a^(xy)
1/a^x = a^-x
a^x/a^y = a^(x-y)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage:
VAR
NumVar : Real ; { Argument to Exp function }
Result : Real ; { Result of Exp function }
BEGIN
NumVar := 1.0 ; { e ^1 }
Result := Exp (NumVar) ; { 2.7182818285 }
END.
