exp() : Exponential (e^x)


On this page

Summary

Calculate e (Euler’s number) raised to a specified power.

Signature

exp(value)

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
value Number Yes The exponent

Returns

Type: Double

e raised to the power of the value (e^value).


Examples

Basic Exponential

<p>e^ = </p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    value = 2
};

Output:

<p>e^2 = 7.39</p>

Growth Calculation

<p>Population: </p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    initial = 1000,
    rate = 0.05,
    time = 10
};

Output:

<p>Population: 1649</p>

Exponential Decay

<p>Remaining: </p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    initial = 100,
    decayRate = 0.1,
    time = 5
};

Output:

<p>Remaining: 60.65</p>

Notes

  • Returns e^x where e ≈ 2.71828
  • Inverse of log() (natural logarithm)
  • Used in continuous growth/decay models
  • Returns double-precision floating-point
  • For other bases, use pow(base, exponent)
