| Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition Exp Function |
Language Reference Version 1 |
Description
Returns e (the base of natural logarithms) raised to a power.
Syntax
Exp(number)The number argument can be any valid numeric expression.
Remarks
If the value of number exceeds 709.782712893, an error occurs. The constant e is approximately 2.718282.
Note The Exp function complements the action of the Log function and is sometimes referred to as the antilogarithm. The following example uses the Exp function to return e raised to a power:
Dim MyAngle, MyHSin ' Define angle in radians. MyAngle = 1.3 ' Calculate hyperbolic sine. MyHSin = (Exp(MyAngle) - Exp(-1 * MyAngle)) / 2
