exp2

exp2(x)

Compute $2^x$.

Examples

1. Calculate $2^x$ for a single value:

   julia> exp2(3)
   8.0

   This example calculates and returns the value of $2^3$, which is 8.

2. Apply exp2 to an array of values:

   julia> arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
   julia> exp2.(arr)
   5-element Array{Float64,1}:
   2.0
   4.0
   8.0
   16.0
   32.0

   Here, the exp2. syntax allows us to apply the exp2 function element-wise to the array arr, resulting in a new array containing the exponential values.

3. Handle negative exponents:

   julia> exp2(-2)
   0.25

   This example demonstrates that the exp2 function can handle negative exponents. Here, it calculates and returns the value of $2^{-2}$, which is 0.25.

Common mistake example:

julia> exp2("2")
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching exp2(::String)

In this example, the argument provided is a string instead of a numeric value. The exp2 function expects a numerical argument, so ensure that you pass a valid numeric value to avoid this error.
