Exp function Exp Function [Runtime] Returns the base of the natural logarithm (e = 2.718282) raised to a power.

Syntax: Exp (Number) Return value: Double Parameters: Number: Any numeric expression that specifies the power that you want to raise "e" to (the base of natural logarithms). The power must be for both single-precision numbers less than or equal to 88.02969 and double-precision numbers less than or equal to 709.782712893, since $[officename] Basic returns an Overflow error for numbers exceeding these values. Example: Sub ExampleLogExp Dim dValue as Double const b1=12.345e12 const b2=1.345e34 dValue=Exp( Log(b1)+Log(b2) ) MsgBox "" & dValue & chr(13) & (b1*b2) ,0,"Multiplication by logarithm" end sub
