VB.NET Exp Example – Code Sample Syntax
VB.NET Exp Example – Code Sample Syntax
Purpose: – Illustrates using VB.NET Exp Code Example.
Purpose:
takes a double data type number and returns a double value
containing e (the base of natural logarithms) raised to the specified power.
Syntax:
Exp(doublenumber)
Exp(doublenumber)
Parameters | Description | doublenumber | a number specifying a power. |
---|
Result Data Type | Description | double | The number e raised to the power of parameter1. If parameter1 equals NaN or PositiveInfinity, that value is returned. If parameter1 equals NegativeInfinity, 0 is returned. |

Notes:
- Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
- You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Module1.vb
