expm1

(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)

expm1 Returns exp(number) - 1, computed in a way that is accurate even when the value of number is close to zero

설명

float expm1 ( float $arg )

expm1() returns the equivalent to 'exp(arg) - 1' computed in a way that is accurate even if the value of arg is near zero, a case where 'exp (arg) - 1' would be inaccurate due to subtraction of two numbers that are nearly equal.

Note that exp(x)-1 can be approximated by x + x^2/2! + ... + x^n/n!  and for any value

Compare this to log1p (which is its inverse).

Also, You may have to use a similar workaraound in case the underlying C library
does not support expm1:

<?php
function expm1($x) {
     return (
$x>-1.0e-6 && $x<1.0e-6) ? ($x + $x*$x/2) : (exp($x)-1);
}
?>
