EXP Exponent
Description
The EXP command first divides the source by the scaling factor, then uses the quotient as an
exponent of 10:
10source/scaling
factor
is placed into the destination.
The EXP command can be used to evaluate a natural exponential function by using 2.30259
as the scaling factor. Because EXP and LOG are inverse functions, the EXP command has
a scaling factor that may be used to “undo” the scaling factor of the LOG command. (See
example 2.)
When the source is longer than the destination, the source is truncated to fit. When the source
is shorter than the destination, the last element is repeated to fill the destination.
See “LOG” for more information on the scaling factor.
