NAME 🖥️ ldexp 🖥️

multiply floating-point number by integral power of 2

LIBRARY

Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>
double ldexp(double x, int exp);
float ldexpf(float x, int exp);
long double ldexpl(long double x, int exp);

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

ldexpf(), ldexpl():

    _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
        || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
        || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

These functions return the result of multiplying the floating-point number x by 2 raised to the power exp.

RETURN VALUE

On success, these functions return x * (2^exp).

If exp is zero, then x is returned.

If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), positive infinity (negative infinity) is returned.

If the result underflows, a range error occurs, and zero is returned.

If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively, with a sign the same as x.

ERRORS

See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.

The following errors can occur:

Range error, overflow
errno is set to ERANGE. An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.

Range error, underflow
errno is set to ERANGE. An underflow floating-point exception (FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised.
