|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var ldexp = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/ldexp' );
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### ldexp( frac, exp )
|
||
|
|
||
|
Multiplies a [double-precision floating-point number][ieee754] by an `integer` power of two; i.e., `x = frac * 2^exp`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var x = ldexp( 0.5, 3 ); // => 0.5 * 2^3 = 0.5 * 8
|
||
|
// returns 4.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
x = ldexp( 4.0, -2 ); // => 4 * 2^(-2) = 4 * (1/4)
|
||
|
// returns 1.0
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
If `frac` equals positive or negative `zero`, `NaN`, or positive or negative `infinity`, the function returns a value equal to `frac`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var x = ldexp( 0.0, 20 );
|
||
|
// returns 0.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
x = ldexp( -0.0, 39 );
|
||
|
// returns -0.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
x = ldexp( NaN, -101 );
|
||
|
// returns NaN
|
||
|
|
||
|
x = ldexp( Infinity, 11 );
|
||
|
// returns Infinity
|
||
|
|
||
|
x = ldexp( -Infinity, -118 );
|
||
|
// returns -Infinity
|
||
|
```
