genType glm::exp

(

genType const &

x

)

Returns the natural exponentiation of x, i.e., e^x.

Parameters:

x	exp function is defined for input values of x defined in the range (inf-, inf+) in the limit of the type precision.

Template Parameters:

genType

Floating-point scalar or vector types.

- GLSL 4.20.8 specification, section 8.2

genType glm::exp2

(

genType const &

x

)

Returns 2 raised to the x power.

Parameters:

x	exp2 function is defined for input values of x defined in the range (inf-, inf+) in the limit of the type precision.

genType glm::inversesqrt

(

genType const &

x

)

Returns the reciprocal of the positive square root of x.

Parameters:

x	inversesqrt function is defined for input values of x defined in the range [0, inf+) in the limit of the type precision.

genType glm::log2

(

genType const &

x

)

Returns the base 2 log of x, i.e., returns the value y, which satisfies the equation x = 2 ^ y.

Parameters:

x	log2 function is defined for input values of x defined in the range (0, inf+) in the limit of the type precision.

Template Parameters:

genType

Floating-point scalar or vector types.
