If periods equals zero, returns 0.0. Else, if rate equals zero, returns periods. Else, if either argument is a NaN, returns a NaN. Else, if rate < -1, returns a NaN and raises the invalid exception. Else, if rate = -1 and periods = +INFINITY, returns +INFINITY. Else, if rate equals -1 and periods > 0, is equivalent to Else, if rate equals -1, returns -1. Else, if rate equals +INFINITY and periods >= 0, returns +0.0. Else, if rate equals +INFINITY and -1 < periods < 0, returns -0.0. Else, if rate equals +INFINITY and periods = -1, returns -1. Else, if rate equals +INFINITY, returns -INFINITY. Else, if periods is infinite and (rate * periods) > 0, is equivalent to Else, if periods is infinite, returns periods. returns a properly signed infinity in lieu of a value whose magnitude is too large, and raises the overflow and inexact exceptions. raises the underflow and inexact exceptions whenever a result is tiny (essentially denormal or zero) and thereby suffers loss of accuracy, and may raise those exceptions if the result is merely tiny.
