| Format | 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. | |
| Returns | Numeric exponent (power of ten). | |
| Description | The EPT( ) function returns the power of 10 for the numeric expression provided. | |
| Examples | ->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 0610 LET B=27*9 0620 PRINT EPT(B), EPT(9*2) -:run 3 2 |
