[2.0] what is equivalent to an Exponential function in C#

[bnathvbdotnet]

I have an expression to calculate and I am confused between Math.Pow() or Math.Exp().

Expression to be calculated:

1-(1-CPR)^(1/12)
where ^ is exponential (works in excel).
thanks

You'd use Math.Pow() for that.

Math.Pow(1 - (1 - CPR), (1 / 12))

You're welcome for pointing you to this thread...

Oh, and thanks. I was curious about this too.

The MSDN documentation says:

Math.Pow: Returns a specified number raised to the specified power.

Math.Exp: Returns e raised to the specified power.

The only reason you would be confused is if you didn't read the documentation.

The documentation for the Math.Exp method even says:

Use the Pow method to calculate powers of other bases.

Exp is the inverse of Log.
