<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
These functions multiply their first argument
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
by
|
|
<B>FLT_RADIX</B>
|
|
|
|
(probably 2)
|
|
to the power of
|
|
<I>exp</I>,
|
|
|
|
that is:
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
x * FLT_RADIX ** exp
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The definition of
|
|
<B>FLT_RADIX</B>
|
|
|
|
can be obtained by including
|
|
<I><<A HREF="file:///usr/include/float.h">float.h</A>></I>.
|
|

|
|

<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
|
|
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
|
|
|
|
On success, these functions return
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
<B>FLT_RADIX</B>
|
|
|
|
**
|

<I>exp</I>.

<P>

If
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
<I>exp</I>
|
|
|
|
is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
is positive infinity (negative infinity),
|
|
and
|
|
<I>exp</I>
|
|
|
|
is not negative infinity,
|
|
positive infinity (negative infinity) is returned.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
is +0 (-0), and
|
|
<I>exp</I>
|
|
|
|
is not positive infinity, +0 (-0) is returned.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
is zero, and
|
|
<I>exp</I>
|
|
|
|
is positive infinity,
|
|
a domain error occurs, and
|
|
a NaN is returned.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
<I>x</I>
|
|
|
|
is an infinity,
|
|
and
|
|
<I>exp</I>
|
|
|
|
is negative infinity,
|
|
a domain error occurs, and
|
|
a NaN is returned.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If the result overflows,
|
|
a range error occurs,
|
|
and the functions return
|
|
<B>HUGE_VAL</B>,
|
|
|
|
<B>HUGE_VALF</B>,
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
<B>HUGE_VALL</B>,

|
|
|
respectively, with a sign the same as
|
|
<I>x</I>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If the result underflows,
|
|
a range error occurs,
|
|
and the functions return zero, with a sign the same as
|
|
<I>x</I>.
