Exp
Function
Gives the exponent of a number System unit
 function Exp ( Number : Extended ) : Extended;
Description
The Exp function takes an integer or floating point Number and raises e (2.72) to that power.
 
This is only used for mathematical processing.
 
Exp has the opposite effect to Ln - the natural logarithm.
Related commands
Ln Gives the natural logarithm of a number
Log10 Gives the log to base 10 of a number
 
Example code : Calculate the exponent of 2
var
  float : Double;
begin
  // Get the natural logarithm of 2
  float := Ln(2);

  // Show this value
  WriteLn('Ln(2) = '+FloatToStr(float));

  // Get the exponent of this value - reverses the Ln operation
  float := Exp(float);

  // Show this value
  WriteLn('Exp(Ln(2)) = '+FloatToStr(float));
end;
