pub fn primitive_float_exp<T>(x: T) -> Twhere
Float: From<T> + PartialOrd<T>,
for<'a> T: ExactFrom<&'a Float> + RoundingFrom<&'a Float> + PrimitiveFloat,Expand description
Computes $e^x$, the exponential of a primitive float. Using this function is more accurate than
using the default exp function or the one provided by libm.
$$ f(x) = e^x+\varepsilon. $$
- If $e^x$ is infinite, zero, or
NaN, $\varepsilon$ may be ignored or assumed to be 0. - If $e^x$ is finite and nonzero, then $|\varepsilon| < 2^{\lfloor\log_2 e^x\rfloor-p}$, where
$p$ is the precision of the output (typically 24 if
Tis af32and 53 ifTis af64, but less if the output is subnormal).
Special cases:
- $f(\text{NaN})=\text{NaN}$
- $f(\infty)=\infty$
- $f(-\infty)=0.0$
- $f(\pm0.0)=1.0$
Overflow and underflow are possible: a large positive x gives $\infty$, and a large negative
x gives 0.0.
§Worst-case complexity
Constant time and additional memory.
