exp function
exp(X)
Returns e (the base of natural logarithms) to the power X
Input: numeric, or an array of numeric values
Result: numeric, or an array of numeric values
Example:
The exponential growth of a population is given by the formula
Nt = N0er.t
where:
Nt is the population size at time t,
N0 is the initial population size,
e is the base of natural logarithms,
r is the intrinsic growth rate, and
t is current time
We can represent this in Simile using a single variable (called N), with its equation being
N = 10*exp(0.1*time(1))
assuming that the initial population size = 10 and the value of r is 0.1.
