Description

The exp1 function returns 1 less than the mathematical exponential of its argument. That is, it returns:

(euler^number)-1

The exp1 function is faster and more accurate than using the above formula.

If the argument is an integer or a number, a number is returned. If the argument is a complex, a complex is returned.
