expm1

(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5)

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

Açıklama

float expm1 ( float $arg )
Uyarı

Bu işlev DENEYSELDİR. Bu işlevin davranışı, ismi ve belgeleri PHP'nin sonraki sürümlerinde hiçbir duyuru yapılmaksızın değiştirilebilir. Bu riski göze alamayacaksanız bu işlevi kullanmayın.

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.

Değiştirgeler

arg

The argument to process

Dönen Değerler

'e' to the power of arg minus one

Note that exp(x)-1 can be approximated by x + x^2/2! + ... + x^n/n!  and for any value

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);
}
