In mathematics, the exponential function is the function ex, where e is the number (approximately 2.718281828) such that the function ex equals its own derivative. The function f(x) = ex at the point x = 0 is equal to 1.

package org.kodejava.math;

public class ExponentExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double x = 0.0d;

        // calculates e raised to the power of x (e^x)
        double fx = Math.exp(x);

        // calculates e raised to the power of x minus 1 (e^x - 1)
        double fxm1 = Math.expm1(x);

        System.out.println("fx   = " + fx);
        System.out.println("fxm1 = " + fxm1);
    }
}

The exponential function is f(x) = ex. The Math.getExponent() method is used to get the x value of the given parameter, in which the parameter is a result of exponential function calculation.

package org.kodejava.math;

public class GetExponent {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double fx = 1.0d;
        float fx1 = 1.0f;

        int x = Math.getExponent(fx);
        System.out.println("Exponent  = " + x);

        // argument in float
        int xf = Math.getExponent(fx1);
        System.out.println("Exponent1 = " + xf);
    }
}
