<h3 class="section">1.16 <code>exp2</code>, <code>exp2f</code>&ndash;exponential, base 2</h3>
<p><a name="index-exp2-41"></a><a name="index-exp2f-42"></a><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> #include &lt;math.h&gt;
double exp2(double <var>x</var>);
float exp2f(float <var>x</var>);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
<code>exp2</code> and <code>exp2f</code> calculate 2 ^ <var>x</var>, that is,
2 raised to the power <var>x</var>.
<p>You can use the (non-ANSI) function <code>matherr</code> to specify
error handling for these functions.
<p><br>
<strong>Returns</strong><br>
On success, <code>exp2</code> and <code>exp2f</code> return the calculated value.
If the result underflows, the returned value is <code>0</code>. If the
result overflows, the returned value is <code>HUGE_VAL</code>. In
either case, <code>errno</code> is set to <code>ERANGE</code>.
<p><br>
<strong>Portability</strong><br>
ANSI C, POSIX.
