    Format

      #include  <math.h>

      double scalb  (double x, double n);

1  –  Arguments

 x

    A nonzero floating-point number.

 n

    An integer.

2  –  Description

    The scalb functions return x*(2**n) for integer n.

3  –  Return Values

    x                  On successful completion, x*(2**n) is
                       returned.
    HUGE_VAL           On overflow, scalb returns HUGE_VAL (according
                       to the sign of x) and sets errno to ERANGE.
    0                  Underflow occurred; errno is set to ERANGE.
    x                  x is Infinity.
    NaN                x or n is NaN; errno is set to EDOM.
