Extracts the exponent value of a floating-point argument.
Syntax
double logb(
double x
);
float logb(
float x
); // C++ only
long double logb(
long double x
); // C++ only
float logbf(
float x
);
long double logbl(
long double x
);
double _logb(
double x
);
float _logbf(
float x
);
Parameters
x
A floating-point value.
Return Value
logb returns the unbiased exponent value of x as a signed integer represented as a floating-point value.
Remarks
The logb functions extract the exponential value of the floating-point argument x, as though x were represented with infinite range. If the argument x is denormalized, it is treated as if it were normalized.
Because C++ allows overloading, you can call overloads of logb that take and return float or long double values. In a C program, logb always takes and returns a double.
