frexp()
function is one of the Standard math Library function in Python.
It returns mantissa and exponent as a pair (m, e) of a given value x, where mantissa m is a floating point number and e exponent is an integer value. m is a float and e is an integer such that x == m * 2**e exactly.
If x is zero, returns (0.0, 0), otherwise 0.5 <= abs(m) < 1. This is used to “pick apart” the internal representation of a float in a portable way.
Syntax: math.frexp( x )
Parameters: Any valid number (positive or negative).
Returns: Returns mantissa and exponent as a pair (m, e) value of a given number x.
Exception: If x is not a number, function will return TypeError.
Code #1:
# Python3 code demonstrate frexp() function # importing math library import math # calculating mantissa and # exponent of given integer print (math.frexp( 3 )) print (math.frexp( 15.7 )) print (math.frexp( - 15 )) |
Output:
(0.75, 2) (0.98125, 4) (-0.9375, 4)
Code #2:
# Python3 code demonstrate frexp() function # importing math library import math # creating a list lst = [ 15 , 13.76 , 17.5 , 21 ] # creating a tuple tpl = ( - 15.85 , - 41.24 , - 11.2 , 54 ) # calculating mantissa and exponent # of 1st, 3rd elements in list print (math.frexp(lst[ 0 ])) print (math.frexp(lst[ 2 ])) # calculating mantissa and exponent # of 2nd, 3rd and 4th elements in tuple print (math.frexp(tpl[ 1 ])) print (math.frexp(tpl[ 2 ])) print (math.frexp(tpl[ 3 ])) |
Output:
(0.9375, 4) (0.546875, 5) (-0.644375, 6) (-0.7, 4) (0.84375, 6)
Code #3: If the x parameter is not a number, frexp()
function will return a TypeError.
# Python3 code demonstrates when error occurs import math print (math.frexp( '25' )) |
Output:
TypeError: a float is required
