n.n has type long double, exp2l is called. Otherwise, if n has integer type or the type double, exp2 is called. Otherwise, exp2f is called.| n | - | floating point value | 
If no errors occur, the base-2 exponential of n (2n) is returned.
If a range error due to overflow occurs, +HUGE_VAL, +HUGE_VALF, or +HUGE_VALL is returned.
If a range error occurs due to underflow, the correct result (after rounding) is returned.
Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.
If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),
