java.lang.Math.exp() method is used to find the Euler’s number e raised to the power of a double value in Java for the given input (x – parameter).
The computed result must be within 1 ulp of the exact result. Results must be semi-monotonic.
The value of constant e = 2.71828 approximately.
exp() method exists in Math class of java.lang package.Since: JDK1.0

Parameters of exp() Method in Java
x – Where x is any valid double input value. This parameter is required.
Error Handling
If the
If there is no argument (
Output:
x parameter is not a number exp() method returns an error.If there is no argument (
x – input value) passes to the method, the compiler will produce an error.Example1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 | /* *This example returns a compile time error */ import java.lang.*; //importing java.lang package public class JavaMathExample { public static void main(String[] args) { //Declaring variables String x = "Not a number"; double result; //argument is not a number result = Math.exp(x); System.out.println(result); //Here no argument is used result = Math.exp(); System.out.println(result); } } |

Return Value of exp() Method in Java
exp() method returns the Euler’s number e raised to the power of a double value for the given input (x – parameter).The value e, where e is the base of the natural logarithms.
Java exp() Method Example 1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | import java.lang.*; //importing java.lang package public class JavaMathExample { public static void main(String[] args) { double negativeValue = -18.869; double positiveValue = 27.78639; double zero = 0; System.out.println("Euler's number e raised to the power of a double value of a Negative Value: "+Math.exp(negativeValue)); System.out.println("Euler's number e raised to the power of a double value of a Positive Value: "+Math.exp(positiveValue)); System.out.println("Euler's number e raised to the power of a double value of Zero: "+Math.exp(zero)); } } |
Output:
Euler's number e raised to the power of a double value of a Negative Value: 6.387007424042083E-9
Euler's number e raised to the power of a double value of a Positive Value: 1.1680887709824473E12
Euler's number e raised to the power of a double value of Zero: 1.0

Special Cases of exp() Method in Java
If the argument is NaN, the result is NaN.
If the argument is positive infinity, then the result is positive infinity.
If the argument is negative infinity, then the result is positive zero.
Example
Output:
If the argument is positive infinity, then the result is positive infinity.
If the argument is negative infinity, then the result is positive zero.
