Defined in header <complex>
template< class T > complex<T> exp( const complex<T>& z );

Compute base-e exponential of z, that is e (Euler's number, 2.7182818) raised to the z power.

Parameters

z

-

complex value

Return value

If no errors occur, e raised to the power of z, ez
, is returned.

Error handling and special values

Errors are reported consistent with math_errhandling

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic,

• std::exp(std::conj(z)) == std::conj(std::exp(z))
• If z is (0,+0), the result is (1,+0)
• If z is (x,+) (for any finite x), the result is (NaN,NaN) and FE_INVALID is raised.
• If z is (x,NaN) (for any finite x), the result is (NaN,NaN) and FE_INVALID may be raised.
• If z is (+,+0), the result is (+,+0)
• If z is (-,y) (for any finite y), the result is +0cis(y)
• If z is (+,y) (for any finite nonzero y), the result is +cis(y)
• If z is (-,+), the result is (0,0) (signs are unspecified)
• If z is (+,+), the result is (,NaN) and FE_INVALID is raised (the sign of the real part is unspecified)
• If z is (-,NaN), the result is (0,0) (signs are unspecified)
• If z is (+,NaN), the result is (,NaN) (the sign of the real part is unspecified)
• If z is (NaN,+0), the result is (NaN,+0)
• If z is (NaN,y) (for any nonzero y), the result is (NaN,NaN) and FE_INVALID may be raised
• If z is (NaN,NaN), the result is (NaN,NaN)

where cis(y) is cos(y) + i sin(y)

Notes

The complex exponential function ez
for z = x+iy equals ex
cis(y), or, ex
(cos(y) + i sin(y))

The exponential function is an entire function in the complex plane and has no branch cuts.

Example

Run this code

#include <complex>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
   const double pi = std::acos(-1);
   const std::complex<double> i(0, 1);

   std::cout << std::fixed << " exp(i*pi) = " << std::exp(i * pi) << '\n';
}

Output:

exp(i*pi) = (-1.000000,0.000000)
