The java.lang.StrictMath.exp() method returns e raised to the power of specified number, i.e., e^x. Please note that e is the base of the natural system of logarithms, and its value is approximately 2.718282. In special cases it returns the following:

• If the argument is NaN, the result is NaN.
• If the argument is positive infinity, then the result is positive infinity.
• If the argument is negative infinity, then the result is positive zero.

In the example below, exp() method is used to calculate e raised to the power of the specified number.

import java.lang.*;

public class MyClass {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  System.out.println(StrictMath.exp(2)); 
  System.out.println(StrictMath.exp(-2)); 
  System.out.println(StrictMath.exp(1.5)); 
  System.out.println(StrictMath.exp(-1.5));    
 }
}

The output of the above code will be:
