NAME

6       exp2, exp2f, exp2l - base-2 exponential function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <math.h>
10
11       double exp2(double x);
12       float exp2f(float x);
13       long double exp2l(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

23       The exp2() function returns the value of 2 raised to the power of x.
24

RETURN VALUE

26       On success, these functions return the base-2 exponential value of x.
27
28       For various special cases, including the handling of infinity and  NaN,
29       as well as overflows and underflows, see exp(3).
