expm1

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.7, PHP 5)

expm1 Returns exp(number) - 1, computed in a way that is accurate even when the value of number is close to zero

Descrierea

float expm1 ( float $arg )
Avertizare

Această funcţie este EXPERIMENTALĂ. Comportamentul acestei funcţii, denumirea sa şi orice alte aspecte documentate în privinţa acestei funcţii pot să fie modificate fără preaviz într-o versiune viitoare a PHP. Utilizaţi această funcţie la propriul risc.

expm1() returns the equivalent to 'exp(arg ) - 1' computed in a way that is accurate even if the value of arg is near zero, a case where 'exp (arg ) - 1' would be inaccurate due to subtraction of two numbers that are nearly equal.

Parametri

arg

The argument to process

Valorile întroarse

'e' to the power of arg minus one

Compare this to log1p (which is its inverse).

Also, You may have to use a similar workaraound in case the underlying C library
does not support expm1:

function expm1($x) {
     return ($x>-1.0e-6 && $x<1.0e-6) ? ($x + $x*$x/2) : (exp($x)-1);
}
