R programming: How do I get Euler's number?
The R expression
exp(1)
represents e, and
exp(2)
represents e^2.
This works because exp
is the exponentiation function with base e.
-digamma(1)
is the Euler's Constant in R.
e
, (exp(1)
in R), which is the natural base of the natural logarithm
Euler's Constant. Euler's Number
if you want to have a little number e
to play with, you can also make one yourself:
emake <- function(){
options("warn"=-1)
e <- 0
for (n in 0:2000){
e <- e+ 1/(factorial(n))
}
return(e)
}
e <- emake()
e^10
exp(10)
# or even:
e <- sum(1/factorial(0:100))
