double exp2 (double x); float exp2f (float x);long double exp2l (long double x);
double exp2 (double x); float exp2 (float x);long double exp2 (long double x); double exp2 (T x); // additional overloads for integral types
Compute binary exponential function
Returns the base-2 exponential function of x, which is 2 raised to the power x: 2x.
Header
<tgmath.h> provides a type-generic macro version of this function.
Additional overloads are provided in this header (
<cmath> ) for the
integral types: These overloads effectively cast
x to a
double before calculations (defined for
T being any
integral type ).
Parameters
- x
- Value of the exponent.

/* exp2 example */
#include <stdio.h> /* printf */
#include <math.h> /* exp2 */
int main ()
{
double param, result;
param = 8.0;
result = exp2 (param);
printf ("2 ^ %f = %f.\n", param, result );
return 0;
}
Output:
2 ^ 8.000000 is 256.000000.
