## GENexp

"exp" — Generate a table with values on the exp function.

## Description

Creates an ftable with values of the exp function.

## Syntax

    f # time size "exp" start end rescale

## Initialization

size -- number of points in the table. Must be a power of 2 or power-of-2 plus 1 (see f statement).

start, end -- first and last value to be stored; the GEN draws a curve that goes from start to end: exp(start) .... exp(end). The points stored are uniformly spaced between these to the table size

rescale -- if not zero the table is not rescaled

## Examples

Here is a simple example of the GENexp routine. It uses the file genexp.csd.

Example 1040. Example of the GENexp routine.
