Ruby | Math ldexp() function

The ldexp() function in Ruby returns the value of fraction * (2^exponent) when fraction and exponent are given as parameters. The fraction is a float value and the exponent is an integer.

Syntax: Math.ldexp(fraction, exponent)

Parameter: The function takes two mandatory parameter fraction and exponent which specifies the fraction and exponent whose result is returned.

Return Value: The function returns the value of fraction and exponent.

Example 1:

# Ruby program for ldexp() function

# Assigning values
fraction1, exponent1 = Math.frexp(189)

fraction2, exponent2 = Math.frexp(19)

fraction3, exponent3 = Math.frexp(18)

fraction4, exponent4 = Math.frexp(123)

# Prints the value returned by ldexp()
puts Math.ldexp(fraction1, exponent1)

puts Math.ldexp(fraction2, exponent2)

puts Math.ldexp(fraction3, exponent3)

puts Math.ldexp(fraction4, exponent4)

Output:

189.0
19.0
18.0
123.0

Example 2:

# Ruby program for ldexp() function

# Assigning values
fraction1, exponent1 = Math.frexp(23)

fraction2, exponent2 = Math.frexp(27)

fraction3, exponent3 = Math.frexp(1092)

fraction4, exponent4 = Math.frexp(1087)

# Prints the value returned by ldexp()
puts Math.ldexp(fraction1, exponent1)

puts Math.ldexp(fraction2, exponent2)

puts Math.ldexp(fraction3, exponent3)

puts Math.ldexp(fraction4, exponent4)

Output:

23.0
27.0
1092.0
1087.0
