Name

expm1, expm1f, expm1l - exponential minus 1

Synopsis


#include <math.h>
double expm1(double x);
float expm1f(float x);
long double expm1l(long double x);

Description

expm1(x) returns a value equivalent to ‘exp (x) - 1’. It is computed in a way that is accurate even if the value of x is near zero--a case where ‘exp (x) - 1’ would be inaccurate due to subtraction of two numbers that are nearly equal.

Conforming to

BSD, C99. The float and the long double variants are C99 requirements.
