## exp

exp — Returns e raised to the x-th power.

## Description

Returns e raised to the xth power.

## Syntax

    exp(x) (no rate restriction)

where the argument within the parentheses may be an expression. Value converters perform arithmetic translation from units of one kind to units of another. The result can then be a term in a further expression.

## Examples

Here is an example of the exp opcode. It uses the file exp.csd.

Example 214. Example of the exp opcode.
