The scalbn() function is defined in the cmath header file. This function is used to calculate the product of given number x and FLT_RADIX raised to the power n. Syntax:-

float scalbn(float x, int n); 

or

double scalbn(double x, int n); 

or

long double scalbn(long double x, int n); 

or

double scalbn(integral x, int n);  

Parameters:- This method takes two parameters:

  • x: This represents the value of significand.
  • n: This represents the value of the exponent.

Return Value: This function returns the product of given number x and FLT_RADIX raised to the power n. with the help of formula:

scalbn(x, n) = x * FLT_RADIXn

Time Complexity: O(1)
Space Complexity: O(1)

Below programs illustrate the above function:- Example 1:- 

cpp




// C++ program to demonstrate
// example of scalbn() function.
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    int n = 7;
    int x = 5;
    int ans;
 
    ans = scalbn(x, n);
    cout << x << " * "
        << FLT_RADIX << "^"
        << n << " = "
        << ans << endl;
 
    return 0;
}


Output:

5 * 2^7 = 640

Example 2:- 

cpp




// C++ program to demonstrate
// example of scalbn() function.
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    int n = 7;
    double x = 3.9;
    int ans;
 
    ans = scalbn(x, n);
    cout << x << " * "
        << FLT_RADIX << "^"
        << n << " = "
        << ans << endl;
 
    return 0;
}


Output:

3.9 * 2^7 = 499
