> Base `2` [exponential function][exponential-function].
<section class="usage">
## Usage
```javascript
var exp2 = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/exp2' );
```
#### exp2( x )
Evaluates the base `2` [exponential function][exponential-function].
```javascript
var v = exp2( 3.0 );
// returns 8.0
v = exp2( -9.0 );
// returns ~0.002
v = exp2( 0.0 );
// returns 1.0
v = exp2( NaN );
// returns NaN
```

var exp2 = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/exp2' );
var x;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
x = (randu()*100.0) - 50.0;
console.log( '2^%d = %d', x, exp2( x ) );
