Math.Exp Method
.NET Framework 4.5
Returns e raised to the specified power.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- d
- Type: System.Double
A number specifying a power.
Return Value
Type: System.DoubleThe number e raised to the power d. If d equals NaN or PositiveInfinity, that value is returned. If d equals NegativeInfinity, 0 is returned.
The following example uses Exp to evaluate certain exponential and logarithmic identities for selected values.
