Error Indicators and Warnings
There are no failure exits from this routine.
Accuracy
At least significant digits are usually correct, but occasionally only . Such accuracy is normally considered to be adequate for applications in experimental physics.
Because of the asymptotic behaviour of , which is of the order of , underflow may occur on some machines when is moderately large and negative.
Parallelism and Performance
None.
Further Comments
None.
Example
This example evaluates at , and prints the results.
