/* expf.c * * Exponential function * * * * SYNOPSIS: * * float x, y, expf(); * * y = expf( x ); * * * * DESCRIPTION: * * Returns e (2.71828...) raised to the x power. * * Range reduction is accomplished by separating the argument * into an integer k and fraction f such that * * x k f * e = 2 e. * * A polynomial is used to approximate exp(f) * in the basic range [-0.5, 0.5]. * * * ACCURACY: * * Relative error: * arithmetic domain # trials peak rms * IEEE +- MAXLOG 100000 1.7e-7 2.8e-8 * * * Error amplification in the exponential function can be * a serious matter. The error propagation involves * exp( X(1+delta) ) = exp(X) ( 1 + X*delta + ... ), * which shows that a 1 lsb error in representing X produces * a relative error of X times 1 lsb in the function. * While the routine gives an accurate result for arguments * that are exactly represented by a double precision * computer number, the result contains amplified roundoff * error for large arguments not exactly represented. * * * ERROR MESSAGES: * * message condition value returned * expf underflow x < MINLOGF 0.0 * expf overflow x > MAXLOGF MAXNUMF * */ /* Cephes Math Library Release 2.2: June, 1992 Copyright 1984, 1987, 1989 by Stephen L.
