Go Expm1()

The Expm1() function calculates e (the base of the natural logarithm) raised to the given argument minus one. The formula is written as follows:

$Expm1(x) = e^{x} - 1$

Syntax

import math

value := math.Expm1(x)

Where value will contain the result of the calculation using the passed argument, x, returned as a float64. Special cases:

• Expm1(+Inf) yields +Inf
• Expm1(-Inf) yields -1
• Expm1(NaN) yields NaN

Example

The example below demonstrates the basic use of Expm1():

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "math"
)

func main() {
  result := math.Expm1(2)
  fmt.Printf("%.1f\n", result)
}
