SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double exp(double x); double log(double x); double log10(double x); double pow(double x, double y);
DESCRIPTION
The exp() function returns the value of e (the base of natural logarithms) raised to the power of x. The log() function returns the natural logarithm of x. The log10() function returns the base-10 logarithm of x. The pow() function returns the value of x raised to the power of y.
ERRORS
The log() and log10() functions can return the following errors: EDOM The argument x is negative. ERANGE The argument x is zero. The log of zero is not defined. The pow() function can return the following error: EDOM The argument x is negative and y is not an integral value. This would result in a complex number.
