math.Ldexp()

The Ldexp() function is an inbuilt function of the math package which is used to get the inverse of Frexp. It returns frac × 2**exp.

It accepts two parameters (frac and exp) and returns the inverse of Frexp. It returns frac × 2**exp.

Syntax:

func Ldexp(frac float64, exp int) float64

Parameter(s):

• frac : The fractional value to be used to get the result of the expression (frac × 2**exp).
• exp : The exponent value to be used to get the result of the expression (frac × 2**exp).

Return Value:

The return type of Ldexp() function is a float64, it returns the inverse of Frexp. It returns frac × 2**exp.

Special cases:

• Ldexp(±0, exp) = ±0
  If the value of frac is ±0, the function returns ±0.
• Ldexp(±Inf, exp) = ±Inf
  If the value of frac is ±Inf, the function returns ±Inf.
• Ldexp(NaN, exp) = NaN
  If the value of frac is NaN, the function returns NaN.

Example 1:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.Ldexp() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(math.Ldexp(0, 0))
	fmt.Println(math.Ldexp(0.5, 1))
	fmt.Println(math.Ldexp(0.5, 2))
	fmt.Println(math.Ldexp(0.5, 6))
	fmt.Println(math.Ldexp(0.94140625, 7))

	fmt.Println(math.Ldexp(-0.5, 1))
	fmt.Println(math.Ldexp(-0.5, 2))
	fmt.Println(math.Ldexp(-0.5, 6))
	fmt.Println(math.Ldexp(-0.94140625, 7))

	fmt.Println(math.Ldexp(math.Inf(-1), 0))
	fmt.Println(math.Ldexp(math.Inf(+1), 0))
	fmt.Println(math.Ldexp(math.NaN(), 0))
}

Output:

0
1
2
32
120.5
-1
-2
-32
-120.5
-Inf
+Inf
NaN

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.Ldexp() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	var frac float64
	var exp int
	var result float64

	frac = 0
	exp = 0
	result = math.Ldexp(frac, exp)
	fmt.Println("Ldexp(", frac, ",", exp, ") = ", result)

	frac = 0.5
	exp = 1
	result = math.Ldexp(frac, exp)
	fmt.Println("Ldexp(", frac, ",", exp, ") = ", result)

	frac = 0.5
	exp = 2
	result = math.Ldexp(frac, exp)
	fmt.Println("Ldexp(", frac, ",", exp, ") = ", result)

	frac = 0.5
	exp = 6
	result = math.Ldexp(frac, exp)
	fmt.Println("Ldexp(", frac, ",", exp, ") = ", result)

	frac = -0.5
	exp = 6
	result = math.Ldexp(frac, exp)
	fmt.Println("Ldexp(", frac, ",", exp, ") = ", result)

	frac = math.Inf(1)
	exp = 0
	result = math.Ldexp(frac, exp)
	fmt.Println("Ldexp(", frac, ",", exp, ") = ", result)

	frac = math.NaN()
	exp = 0
	result = math.Ldexp(frac, exp)
	fmt.Println("Ldexp(", frac, ",", exp, ") = ", result)
}

Output:

Ldexp( 0 , 0 ) =  0
Ldexp( 0.5 , 1 ) =  1
Ldexp( 0.5 , 2 ) =  2
Ldexp( 0.5 , 6 ) =  32
Ldexp( -0.5 , 6 ) =  -32
Ldexp( +Inf , 0 ) =  +Inf
Ldexp( NaN , 0 ) =  NaN
