frexp - convert floating-point number to fractional and
integral components
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double frexp(double x, int *exp);
DESCRIPTION
The frexp() function is used to split the number x into a
normalized fraction and an exponent which is stored in
exp.
RETURN VALUE
The frexp() function returns the normalized fraction. If
the argument x is not zero, the normalized fraction is x
times a power of two, and is always in the range 1/2
(inclusive) to 1 (exclusive). If x is zero, then the nor
malized fraction is zero and zero is stored in exp.
