Name

exp10, exp10f, exp10l - base-10 exponential function

Synopsis


#define _GNU_SOURCE         /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <math.h>
double exp10(double x);
float exp10f(float x);
long double exp10l(long double x);

Link with -lm.

Description

The exp10() function returns the value of 10 raised to the power of x.

Return Value

On success, these functions return the base-10 exponential value of x.

For various special cases, including the handling of infinity and NaN, as well as overflows and underflows, see exp(3) .

Errors

See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.

For a discussion of the errors that can occur for these functions, see exp(3) .

Conforming to

Bugs

Prior to version 2.19, the glibc implementation of these functions did not set errno to ERANGE when an underflow error occurred.
