exponent

exponent(x) -> Int

Get the exponent of a normalized floating-point number.

Examples

julia> exponent(2.5)
1

julia> exponent(0.125)
-3

julia> exponent(10.0)
1

In Julia, the exponent function returns the exponent of a normalized floating-point number. It takes a single argument x and returns an integer n.

Here are some examples of how the exponent function can be used:

  1. Get the exponent of a positive number:

    julia> exponent(2.5)
1

    The exponent of the normalized floating-point number 2.5 is 1.

  2. Get the exponent of a negative number:

    julia> exponent(0.125)
-3

    The exponent of the normalized floating-point number 0.125 is -3.

  3. Get the exponent of a whole number: 
    julia> exponent(10.0)
1

    The exponent of the normalized floating-point number 10.0 is 1.

Please note that the exponent function is specific to normalized floating-point numbers. It may not give meaningful results for other types of inputs.

If you have a non-normalized floating-point number or a different type of input, the behavior of exponent may not be as expected.

It's important to ensure that the input to the exponent function is a valid normalized floating-point number to get accurate results.
