Syntax
Math.ldexp(x, exp)
Parameters
x |
Specify floating point value representing the significand. |
exp |
Specify value of the exponent. |
Return Value
Returns x * 2exp.
Example:
The example below shows the usage of Math.ldexp() function.
sig = 0.625
exp = 4
Num = Math.ldexp(sig, exp)
puts "Significand: #{sig}"
puts "Exponent: #{exp}"
puts "Result: #{Num}"
The output of the above code will be:
Significand: 0.625 Exponent: 4 Result: 10.0
