It is equivalent to e^x in mathematics.

The syntax of the Math.exp() function is:

Math.exp(x)

exp(), being a static method, is called using the Math class name.

Math.exp() Parameters

The Math.exp() function takes in:

• x - A number

Return value from Math.exp()

• Returns e^x for argument x, where e is Euler's number (2.71828).

Example: Using Math.exp()

// Math.exp() is equivalent e**x

var value = Math.exp(0);
console.log(value); // 1

var value = Math.exp(1);
console.log(value); // 2.718281828459045

var value = Math.exp("-1");
console.log(value); // 0.36787944117144233

var value = Math.exp(2);
console.log(value); // 7.38905609893065

var value = Math.exp(5);
console.log(value); // 148.4131591025766

Output
