(C++11 feature)

Multiplies an floating point value x by FLT_RADIX raised to power exp. On binary system it is equivalent to ldexp()

[edit] Parameters

arg - floating point value
exp - integer value

[edit] Return value

returns x×FLT_RADIXexp

If the result is too large for the underlying type, range error occurs and HUGE_VAL is returned.
