The scalb function computes x * rn, where r is the radix of the machine's floating-point arithmetic. When r is 2, scalb shall be equivalent to ldexp. The value of r is FLT_RADIX which is defined in <float.h>. The scalbn function computes x * FLT_RADIXn efficiently.

#include <math.h>

double scalb (double x, double n);

double scalbn (double x, int n);

Return Values

Upon successful completion, these functions shall return x * FLT_RADIXn.

If the result would cause overflow, a range error shall occur and these functions shall return +/-HUGE_VAL, (according to the sign of x).
