float expm1f( float arg );
(1) (since C99)double expm1( double arg );
(2) (since C99)long double expm1l( long double arg );
(3) (since C99)#define expm1( arg )
(4) (since C99) 1-3)Computes the
e(Euler's number,
2.7182818
) raised to the given power
arg
, minus
1.0. This function is more accurate than the expression
exp(arg)-1.0if
arg
is close to zero.
4) Type-generic macro: If arg
has type long double, expm1l
is called. Otherwise, if arg
has integer type or the type double, expm1
is called. Otherwise, expm1f
is called.
If no errors occur earg
-1 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 handlingErrors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.
If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),
The functions expm1
and log1p are useful for financial calculations, for example, when calculating small daily interest rates: (1+x)n
-1 can be expressed as expm1(n * log1p(x)). These functions also simplify writing accurate inverse hyperbolic functions.
For IEEE-compatible type double, overflow is guaranteed if 709.8 < arg.

Possible output:
