Return Exponent Value |
EPT(num[,ERR=stmtref])
Where:
|
num |
Numeric expression whose exponent is to be returned. |
|
stmtref |
Program line number or statement label to which to transfer control. |
Numeric exponent (power of 10).
The EPT( ) function returns the power of 10 for the numeric expression provided.
ept(10) ! Same as ept(0.1*10^2) - yields 2
ept(5) ! Same as ept(0.5*10^1) - yields 1
ept(.02) ! Same as ept(0.2*10^-1) - yields -1
B=27*9
print ept(B),ept(9*2)
