Parameters

x Specify the exponent of 2.

Return Value

Returns 2 raised to the power of specified number, i.e., 2x.

Example:

In the example below, exp2() function is used to calculate 2 raised to the power of specified number.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
 
int main (){
  printf("%lf\n", exp2(2));
  printf("%lf\n", exp2(-2));
  printf("%lf\n", exp2(1.5));
  printf("%lf\n", exp2(-1.5));  
  return 0;
}

The output of the above code will be:

4.000000
0.250000
