| Function: | exponent |
| Type: | RealFloat a => a -> Int |
| Class: | RealFloat |
| Description: | The functions significand and exponent together provide the same information as decodeFloat, but rather than an Integer, significand x yields a value of the same type as x, scaled to lie in the open interval (-1,1). exponent 0 is zero. |
