exp function - Get the base Napier number e of the natural logarithm

You can use the exp function to get the base Napier number e of the natural logarithm.

# e
my $exp = exp(1);

# e cubed
my $exp3 = exp(3);

To get the number e, pass 1 to the exp function. The argument is a power of power, so if you specify n, you can get the number of e raised to the nth power.

Example

use strict;
use warnings;

print "(1) Napier number e\n";
print "e =" . exp(1). "\n\n";

print "(2) Napier number e to the nth root\n";
print "e cubed =" . Exp (3) . "\n";
