information

The exp() function computes e**x, the base-e exponential of x. If x is nearly zero, then the common expression exp(x) - 1.0 will suffer from catastrophic cancellation and the result will have little or no precision. Special values: exp(+-0) return 1. exp(-infinity) return +0. exp(+infinity) return +infinity. For all these functions, a range error occurs if the magnitude of x is too large.
