expm1

$NPM version$ $Build Status$ $Coverage Status$

Compute exp(x) - 1.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-expm1

Usage

var expm1 = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-expm1' );

expm1( x )

Computes exp(x) - 1, where exp(x) is the natural exponential function.

var v = expm1( 0.2 );
// returns ~0.221

v = expm1( -9.0 );
// returns ~-1.0

v = expm1( 0.0 );
// returns 0.0

v = expm1( NaN );
// returns NaN

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var expm1 = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-expm1' );

var x;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = (randu()*10.0) - 5.0;
    console.log( 'e^%d - 1 = %d', x, expm1( x ) );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/expm1.h"

stdlib_base_expm1( x )

Computes exp(x) - 1, where exp(x) is the natural exponential function.

double out = stdlib_base_expm1( 0.2 );
// returns ~0.221

out = stdlib_base_expm1( -9.0 );
// returns ~-1.0

The function accepts the following arguments:

x: [in] double input value.

double stdlib_base_expm1( const double x );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/expm1.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    double x;
    double v;
    int i;
    
    for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
        x = ( ( (double)rand() / (double)RAND_MAX ) * 10.0 ) - 5.0;
        v = stdlib_base_expm1( x );
        printf( "e^%lf - 1 = %lf\n", x, v );
    }
}

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
