math.frexp() function exists in Standard math Library of Python Programming Language. This function returns mantissa and exponent as a pair (m, e) of a given value x, where mantissa m is a floating point number and e exponent is an integer value.
Syntax of frexp() Function in Python
The syntax of
frexp() function in Python is:math.frexp( x )
Parameters of frexp() in Python
x Any valid Python number (positive or negative). This parameter is required.Note: if the
x parameter is not a number, frexp() function will return a TypeError.

Return Value of frexp() Function in Python
frexp() returns mantissa and exponent as a pair (m, e) value of a given number x. Mantissa (m) is floating point number and exponent (e) is an integer.
Python frexp() Function Example
# import math library import math print(math.frexp(25)) print(math.frexp(20.3)) print(math.frexp(-20)) print(math.frexp(-13.6))
The output of Python frexp() Function:
(0.78125, 5)
(0.634375, 5)
(-0.625, 5)
(-0.85, 4)
Note that in output all the numbers whether they are negative or positive are converted into a pair value (m, e), where m, mantissa, is floating point number and e, exponent, is an integer.
