NAME

 scalbn - load exponent of a radix-independent floating-point number

SYNOPSIS

 
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lm [ library ... ]
#include <math.h>
double scalbn(double x, int n);

DESCRIPTION

 

The scalbn() function computes x * rn, where r is the radix of the machine's floating point arithmetic.


RETURN VALUES

 

Upon successful completion, the scalbn() function returns x * rn.

If the correct value would overflow, scalbn() returns +-HUGE_VAL (according to the sign of x).

The scalbn() function returns x when x is +-Inf.

If x is NaN, then scalbn() returns NaN.
