Re^2: Exponential Function Programming

[Abulil]

i got your program but what im looking for is how to do the basic function as it is for example i need to do X to the power of N, then divide it by N factorial and at the end add them all from (1 until the N number i entered) Thanks alot

x to the power of n is done via: $x ** $n or

sub x_power_n {
  my $x = shift;
  my $n = shift;
  my $result = $x;
  my $i = 1;
  while ($i < $n) {
    $result *= $x;
    $i++;
  }
  return $result;
}

You need to do this, though, "infinite" times, reason why I provided a parameter to "stop" after a certain time.

That only works for integer exponents. The equation in the OP handles real numbers.

Using exp and ln, it's possible to find any exponent.
