How do you write exp(a/b) in C#?

I am calculating a formula and would like to know how to writ开发者_如何转开发e exp(a/b) in C#. I heard about math.exp, but it takes only one parameter.


As it says in the docs for Math.Exp,

Use the Pow method to calculate powers of other bases.

If you're passing the result of a/b (that is, a divided by b), then that result is a single value, which could be passed to Math.Exp.


Like Daniel already mentioned in his answer, use Math.Exp.

With my answer, I'd like to point out a little pitfall that you can avoid in your situation.

If you're going to call Math.Exp like you mentioned in your question, i.e. Math.Exp(a/b), where a and b are two integers, and not variables, don't forget to cast the numerator to double:

Math.Exp((double)1/2);

If you don't do that, the division will be made with two ints, resulting in a loss of precision (see the comments in the code):

Math.Exp(1/2); //results in 1, since 1/2 = 0 and e^0 = 1
Math.Exp((double)1/2); //results in 1.64872127070013, since (double)1/2 = 0.5

As Daniel correctly mentioned in a comment to this answer, the cast to double can be omitted once you define a and b as double, and use both variables for the division in Math.Exp:

double a = 1;
double b = 2;
Math.Exp(a/b);
0
