std::exp(std::valarray)

template< class T >
valarray<T> exp( const valarray<T>& va );

For each element in va computes e raised to the power equal to the value of the element.

Parameters

Return value

Value array containing e raised by the values in va.

Notes

Unqualified function (exp) is used to perform the computation. If such function is not available, std::exp is used due to argument-dependent lookup.

The function can be implemented with the return type different from std::valarray. In this case, the replacement type has the following properties:

• All const member functions of std::valarray are provided.
• std::valarray, std::slice_array, std::gslice_array, std::mask_array and std::indirect_array can be constructed from the replacement type.
• For every function taking a const std::valarray<T>& except begin() and end()(since C++11), identical functions taking the replacement types shall be added;
• For every function taking two const std::valarray<T>& arguments, identical functions taking every combination of const std::valarray<T>& and replacement types shall be added.
• The return type does not add more than two levels of template nesting over the most deeply-nested argument type.

Possible implementation

template<class T>
valarray<T> exp(const valarray<T>& va)
{
    valarray<T> other = va;
    for (T& i : other)
        i = exp(i);
 
    return other; // proxy object may be returned
}

Example

#include <complex>
#include <iostream>
#include <numbers>
#include <valarray>
 
int main()
{
    const double pi = std::numbers::pi;
    std::valarray<std::complex<double>> v =
    {
        {0, 0}, {0, pi / 2}, {0, pi}, {0, 3 * pi / 2}, {0, 2 * pi}
    };
    std::valarray<std::complex<double>> v2 = std::exp(v);
    for (std::cout << std::showpos << std::fixed; auto n : v2)
        std::cout << n << '\n';
}
