1-3) Computes 2 raised to the given power num. The library provides overloads of std::exp2 for all cv-unqualified floating-point types as the type of the parameter.(since C++23)

A) Additional overloads are provided for all integer types, which are treated as double. (since C++11)

[edit] Parameters

num - floating-point or integer value

[edit] Return value

If no errors occur, the base-2 exponential of num (2num
) 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.

[edit] Error handling

Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.

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

[edit] Notes

The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as (A). They only need to be sufficient to ensure that for their argument num of integer type, std::exp2(num) has the same effect as std::exp2(static_cast<double>(num)).

For integral exponents, it may be preferable to use std::ldexp.

[edit] Example

#include #include #include #include #include   // #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON   int main() { std::cout << "exp2(4) = " << std::exp2(4) << '\n' << "exp2(0.5) = " << std::exp2(0.5) << '\n' << "exp2(-4) = " << std::exp2(-4) << '\n';   // special values std::cout << "exp2(-0) = " << std::exp2(-0.0) << '\n' << "exp2(-Inf) = " << std::exp2(-INFINITY) << '\n';   // error handling errno = 0; std::feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT); const double inf = std::exp2(1024); const bool is_range_error = errno == ERANGE;   std::cout << "exp2(1024) = " << inf << '\n'; if (is_range_error) std::cout << " errno == ERANGE: " << std::strerror(ERANGE) << '\n'; if (std::fetestexcept(FE_OVERFLOW)) std::cout << " FE_OVERFLOW raised\n"; }

Possible output:

exp2(4) = 16 exp2(0.5) = 1.41421 exp2(-4) = 0.0625 exp2(-0) = 1 exp2(-Inf) = 0 exp2(1024) = inf errno == ERANGE: Numerical result out of range FE_OVERFLOW raised
