float       exp2f( float n );	(1)	(since C99)
double      exp2( double n );	(2)	(since C99)
long double exp2l( long double n );	(3)	(since C99)

1-3) Computes 2 raised to the given power n.

4) Type-generic macro: If n has type long double, exp2l is called. Otherwise, if n has integer type or the type double, exp2 is called. Otherwise, exp2f is called.

Parameters

n

-

floating point value

Return value

If no errors occur, the base-2 exponential of n (2n
) is returned.

If a range error due to overflow occurs, +HUGE_VAL, +HUGE_VALF, or +HUGE_VALL is returned.

If a range error occurs due to underflow, the correct result (after rounding) is returned.

Error handling

Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),

• If the argument is ±0, 1 is returned
• If the argument is -∞, +0 is returned
• If the argument is +∞, +∞ is returned
• If the argument is NaN, NaN is returned
