Java StrictMath - expm1() Method
The java.lang.StrictMath.expm1() method returns e raised to the power of specified number minus 1, i.e., ex-1. 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 -1.0.
- If the argument is zero, then the result is a zero with the same sign as the argument.
Syntax
public static double expm1(double x)
Parameters
x |
Specify the exponent of e. |
Return Value
Returns e raised to the power of specified number minus 1, i.e., ex-1.
Exception
NA.
Example:
In the example below, expm1() method is used to calculate e raised to the power of specified number minus one.
import java.lang.*; public class MyClass { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(StrictMath.expm1(2)); System.out.println(StrictMath.expm1(-2)); System.out.println(StrictMath.expm1(1.5)); System.out.println(StrictMath.expm1(-1.5)); } }
The output of the above code will be:
6.38905609893065 -0.8646647167633873 3.481689070338065 -0.7768698398515702
