1  –  Argument

 x

    A real value.

2  –  Description

    The exp functions compute the value of the exponential function,
    defined as e**x, where e is the constant used as a base for
    natural logarithms.

    The expm1 functions compute exp(x) - 1 accurately, even for tiny
    x.

    If an overflow occurs, the exp functions return the largest
    possible floating-point value and set errno to ERANGE. The
    constant HUGE_VAL is defined in the <math.h> header file to be
    the largest possible floating-point value.

3  –  Return Values

    x                  The exponential value of the argument.
    HUGE_VAL           Overflow occurred; errno is set to ERANGE.
    0                  Underflow occurred; errno is set to ERANGE.
    NaN                x is NaN; errno is set to EDOM.
