VB.NET Exp Example – Code Sample Syntax

VB.NET Exp Example – Code Sample Syntax

Purpose: – Illustrates using .

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)

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.

Step 1: Click Visual Basic to Cut-n-paste code into clsExp.vb

Imports System.Math
Public Class clsExp
 
    Public Sub Main()
 
 
        '********************************************************************************
        ' Purpose: takes a double data type number and returns a double value

        ' Syntax: 	Exp(doublenumber)
        '  
        ' Parameter1: doublenumber - a number specifying a power.

        Console.WriteLine("Example #1: 	Exp(doublenumber)")
 
        Console.WriteLine(Exp(90)) ' Returns 1.22040329431784E+39
 
        'write blank line to make output easier to read
        Console.WriteLine()
 
        Console.WriteLine("Example #2: 	Exp(doublenumber)")
 
        Console.WriteLine(Exp(-3.4)) ' Returns -0.966798192579461
        'write blank line to make output easier to read
        Console.WriteLine()
 
        Console.WriteLine("Example #3: 	Exp(doublenumber)")
 
        Dim Integer3 As Integer = Exp(-0)
 
        Console.WriteLine(Exp(-0)) ' Returns 1
 
        'Prevent console from closing before you press enter
        Console.ReadLine()
 
    End Sub
 
End Class

Step 2: Click Visual Basic to Cut-n-paste code into Module1.vb

Module Module1
 
    Sub Main()
 
 
        Dim myclsExp As New clsExp
        myclsExp.Main()
 
 
 
    End Sub
 
End Module

Prerequistes:

  1. Install Visual Basic (Express or Standard Edition)
  2. Install SQL Server Express
  3. Download Northwind and pubs Database
  4. Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express
  5. Attach pubs Database to Databases in Sql Express

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
