The '''EXP''' math function returns the value of '''e''' to the power of the parameter used.



{{PageSyntax}}
:: value = EXP(exponent)


* '''e''' is defined as the base of natural logarithms or as the limit of (1 + 1 / n) ^ n as n goes to infinity
* The exponent value MUST be less than or equal to '''88.02969''' or an [[ERROR Codes|"overflow" error]] will occur!
* Value returned is '''e''' to the exponent parameter. '''e = 2.718282'''  (approximately)
* Values returned are [[SINGLE]] by default but will return [[DOUBLE]] precision if the exponent uses a double value.
* Positive exponent values indicate the number of times to multiply '''e''' by itself.
* Negative exponent values indicate the number of times to divide by '''e'''. Example: e<sup>-3</sup> = 1 / e<sup>3</sup> = 1 /(e * e * e)
