Synopsis:

  `RESULT = EXP(X)`

Description:

  `EXP(X)` computes the base e exponential of X.

Class:

  Elemental function

Arguments:

  X | The type shall be `REAL` or `COMPLEX`.

Return value:

  The return value has same type and kind as X.

Example:

      program test_exp
        real :: x = 1.0
        x = exp(x)
      end program test_exp
