NAME

exp - returns the base-e exponential of scalars and vectors

SYNOPSIS

   float  exp(float a);
   float1 exp(float1 a);
   float2 exp(float2 a);
   float3 exp(float3 a);
   float4 exp(float4 a);
 
 
 
   half   exp(half a);
   half1  exp(half1 a);
   half2  exp(half2 a);
   half3  exp(half3 a);
   half4  exp(half4 a);
 
 
 
   fixed  exp(fixed a);
   fixed1 exp(fixed1 a);
   fixed2 exp(fixed2 a);
   fixed3 exp(fixed3 a);
   fixed4 exp(fixed4 a);
 
 
 

PARAMETERS


a
Vector or scalar of which to determine the base-e exponential. The value e is approximately 2.71828182845904523536.

DESCRIPTION

Returns the base-e exponential a.

For vectors, the returned vector contains the base-e exponential of each element of the input vector.

REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATION

   float3 exp(float3 a)
   {
     float3 rv;
     int i;
 
 
 
     for (i=0; i<3; i++) {
       rv[i] = exp(a[i]);  // this is the ANSI C standard library exp()
     }
     return rv;
   }
 
 
 
exp is typically implemented with either a native base-2 exponentional instruction or pow.

PROFILE SUPPORT

exp is fully supported in all profiles unless otherwise specified.

Support in the fp20 is limited to constant compile-time evaluation.
