Tutorial on JavaScript Math.exp()
The Math.exp() function in JavaScript is used to calculate the value of e raised to the power of a given number. In mathematics, e is a mathematical constant that is the base of the natural logarithm and is approximately equal to 2.718281828459045.
The syntax of the Math.exp() function is as follows:

Math.exp(x)

Where x is the number whose e power is to be determined.
For example, if x = 2, the Math.exp() function will return the value of e raised to the power of 2, which is 7.38905609893065.

Math.exp(2) // returns 7.38905609893065
[/dm_code_snippet]
The Math.exp() function can be used to calculate the value of e raised to any real number, positive or negative. For example, if x = -2, the Math.exp() function will return the value of e raised to the power of -2, which is 0.1353352832366127.

Math.exp(-2) // returns 0.1353352832366127
[/dm_code_snippet]
The Math.exp() function can also be used to calculate the value of e raised to a decimal number. For example, if x = 0.5, the Math.exp() function will return the value of e raised to the power of 0.5, which is 1.648721270700128.
[dm_code_snippet background=”yes” background-mobile=”yes” slim=”no” line-numbers=”no” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”php” wrapped=”no” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]
Math.exp(0.5) // returns 1.648721270700128
[/dm_code_snippet]
The Math.exp() function can also be used to calculate the value of e raised to a fraction. For example, if x = 1/3, the Math.exp() function will return the value of e raised to the power of 1/3, which is 1.3591409142295225.
[dm_code_snippet background=”yes” background-mobile=”yes” slim=”no” line-numbers=”no” bg-color=”#abb8c3″ theme=”dark” language=”php” wrapped=”no” height=”” copy-text=”Copy Code” copy-confirmed=”Copied”]
Math.exp(1/3) // returns 1.3591409142295225
[/dm_code_snippet]
The Math.exp() function is useful for solving many mathematical problems, such as calculating the growth of an investment over time or determining the probability of an event occurring. It is also used in calculus to solve exponential equations, as well as in logarithmic equations.
