Syntax:
#include <cmath> double frexp( double num, int* exp );
The function frexp() is used to decompose num into two parts: a mantissa between 0.5 and 1 (returned by the function) and an exponent returned as exp. Scientific notation works like this:
num = mantissa * (2 ^ exp)
C++ also provides the following overloaded forms:
#include <cmath> float frexp( float num, int* exp ); // same as frexpf() in C99 long double frexp( long double num, int* exp ); // same as frexpl() in C99
