Java Math exp() Function

May 27, 2023

Java Math Class

Java Math class provides several methods to perform several operations on math calculations like max(), min(), sin(), cos(), round(), ceil(), floor(), abs(), exp Function etc.
The java.lang.Math class contains various methods for performing basic numeric operations
Here, in the page we will discuss about the exp Function of Math class in java.

Java exp Function :

Java Collection contains Math class and The class Math contains methods for performing basic and advance numeric operations such as the exponential, logarithm, square root, and trigonometric functions.
The exp Function of math class in Java returns the Euler’s number e raised to the power of the input value. It is a static function so we can access it by using the Math class.

Note: Euler's number e whose value is 2.71828, raised to the power of the input value can be written as Math.exp(x) = e^x.

Syntax:

Math.exp(number);

Definition of Parameters:

number The input or given numbers on which operation have to be performed.

Return Type :

If the input is + or – value, this method will return the output.
If the input is Zero, this method will return 1.0.
If the input is + Infinity, this method will return + Infinity.
If the input is – Infinity, this method will return + Zero.
If the input is NaN, this method will return NaN.

Example :

Run

import java.util.*;

public class Main{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        // Initializing double argumnet
        double num = 2.0d;
        
        // taking exp value
        double ans = Math.exp(num);
        
        // printing the final answer
        System.out.println("Exponential value for the given Input is : " + ans);
        
        // using exact value of e
        double ans2 = Math.pow(2.71828,2.0d); 
        
        // printing the final answer
        System.out.println("Exponential value using e value is : " + ans2);
    }
}

Output:

Exponential value for the given Input is : 7.38905609893065
Exponential value using e value is : 7.3890461584

In the above Example, We had taken a variables of double type with a value stored in it. we are printing the exponential value using the exp function and also using the value of e.

Example:

Run

import java.util.*;

public class Main{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        // Initializing double negative argumnet
        double num = -2.0d;
        
        // printing the final answer
        System.out.println("Exponential value for the given Input is : " + Math.exp(num));
        
        // Initializing argument as negative infinity 
        double num2 = Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY; 
        
        // printing the final answer
        System.out.println("Exponential value for negative infinity is : " + Math.exp(num2));
        
        // Initializing 0 argument
        double num3 = 0; 
        
        // printing the final answer
        System.out.println("Exponential value for 0 is : " + Math.exp(num3));
    }
}

Output:

Exponential value for the given Input is : 0.1353352832366127
Exponential value for negative infinity is : 0.0
Exponential value for 0 is : 1.0

In the above Example, We had taken example for exponent value of the negative number, 0, and negative infinity.
