Function std.math.expm1

Calculates the value of the natural logarithm base (e) raised to the power of x, minus 1.

real expm1 (
  real x
) pure nothrow @nogc @trusted;

For very small x, expm1(x) is more accurate than exp(x)-1.

Special Values
x ex-1
±0.0 ±0.0
+∞ +∞
-∞ -1.0
NAN NAN

Example

assert(isIdentical(expm1(0.0), 0.0));
assert(expm1(1.0).feqrel(1.71828) > 16);
assert(expm1(2.0).feqrel(6.3890) > 16);
