Problem Solution

In this program, we will read the fraction and exponent from the user. Then we will get the value of fraction and exponent using Math.idexp() function.

Program/Source Code

The source code to find the value of fraction and exponent is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

# Ruby program to find the 
# value of fraction and exponent

print "Enter fraction: ";
fraction = gets.chomp.to_f;  

print "Enter exponent: ";
exponent = gets.chomp.to_i;  

value = Math.ldexp(fraction, exponent);
print "Value: ",value;

Output

Enter fraction: 0.890625
Enter exponent: 9
Value: 456.0
