Numpy.exp – Python NumPy exp() Function

NumPy exp() Function:

Numpy.exp: To determine e raised to the power of a given value(ex), use the exp() function of the Numpy module. Here, e is the natural logarithm’s base, and its value is about 2.718282.

Syntax:

numpy.exp(a, out=None)

Parameters

a: This is required. It is the array or an object given as input.

out: This is optional. It is the location where the result will be stored. It must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to if it is provided. If None or not given, a newly allocated array is returned.

Return Value: 

Numpy exp: The exponential value of each element of the given array(a) is returned by the exp() function of the NumPy module.

NumPy exp() Function in Python

Example1

Approach:

  • Import numpy module using the import keyword
  • Pass some random list as an argument to the array() function of the numpy module to create an array.
  • Store it in a variable.
  • Print the above-given array.
  • Pass the above-given array as an argument to the exp() function of the numpy module to get the exponential(ex) values of each element of the given array.
  • Store it in another variable.
  • Print the exponential values of each element of the given array
  • The Exit of the Program.

Below is the implementation:

# Import numpy module using the import keyword
import numpy as np
# Pass some random list as an argument to the array() function 
# of the Numpy module to create an array. 
# Store it in a variable.
gvn_arry = np.array([3, 6, 4, 10, 1])                     
# Print the above given array.
print("The above given array is:")
print(gvn_arry)
print()
# Pass the above given array as an argument to the exp() function of the 
# numpy module to get the exponential values of each element of 
# the given array
# Store it in another variable.
rslt = np.exp(gvn_arry)
# Print the exponential values of each element of the given array 
print("The exponential values of each element of the given array:")
print(rslt)

Output:

The above given array is:
[ 3 6 4 10 1]

The exponential values of each element of the given array:
[2.00855369e+01  4.03428793e+02  5.45981500e+01  2.20264658e+04
2.71828183e+00]

Example2(Plotting a Graph)

Approach:

  • Import numpy module using the import keyword
  • Import pyplot from the matplotlib module using the import keyword
  • Give some random list as static input and store it in a variable.
  • Pass the above-given list as an argument to the exp() function of the numpy module to get the exponential(ex) values of each element of the given array.
  • Store it in another variable.
  • Store the above input array in another variable for plotting the input array vs input array.
  • Plot the input array versus input array with some random color and marker values using the plot() function of the matplotlib module
  • Plot the output array(exponential values) versus input array with some other random color and marker values using the plot function of the matplotlib module
  • Give the title of the plot using the title() function of the matplotlib module
  • Display the plot using the show() function of the matplotlib module.
  • The Exit of the Program.

Below is the implementation:

# Import numpy module using the import keyword
import numpy as np
# Import pyplot from the matplotlib module using the import keyword
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Give some random list as static input and store it in a variable. 
gvn_arry = [1.3, 1, 2.4, 3.2, 4]
# Pass the above-given list as an argument to the exp() function of the numpy module to 
# get the exponential(ex) values of each element of the given array.
# Store it in another variable.
rslt_arry = np.exp(gvn_arry)
# Store the above input array in another variable for plotting the input array vs input array.
temp_inputarry = [1.3, 1, 2.4, 3.2, 4]
# Plot the input array versus input array with some random color and marker values using
# the plot() function of the matplotlib module
plt.plot(gvn_arry, temp_inputarry, color = 'green', marker = "*")
# Plot the output array(exponential values) versus input array with some other random color 
# and marker values using the plot function of the matplotlib module
plt.plot(rslt_arry, temp_inputarry, color = 'orange', marker = "o")
# Give the title of the plot using the title() function of the matplotlib module
plt.title("Exponential values")
plt.xlabel("X")
plt.ylabel("Y")
# Display the plot using the show() function of the matplotlib module.
plt.show()

Output:
