Exp Function

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.
