Description

Used to multiply a floating point value v1 by the number 2 raised to the v2 power. This is called a load exponent. v2 should be an integer. <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> (number) = math.ldexp(v1,v2) </source>

Returns v1*2^v2.

Parameters

v1: (number) a floating point value
v2: (number) an exponent

Return values

Returns (number) the load exponent result

Example

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> local m, n = math.frexp(16.4) print("mantissa", m, "exponent", n) print(m*2^n) local r = math.ldexp(0.5125, 5) print("load exponent result", r) -- 16.4 </source>

Note

math.frexp is the inversed operation.
