Extracts the value of the exponent from the floating-point argument arg, and returns it as a floating-point value. Formally, the result is the integral part of log
r|arg| as a signed floating-point value, for non-zero arg, where r is FLT_RADIX. If arg is subnormal, it is treated as though it was normalized.

[edit] Parameters
| arg | - | floating point value |
[edit] Return value
The floating-point exponent.
Domain or range error may occur if arg is zero.
[edit] Notes
The value of the exponent returned by logb is always 1 less than the exponent retuned by frexp because of the different normalization requirements: for the exponent e returned by logb, |arg*r-e
| is between 1 and r (typically between 1 and 2), but for the exponent e returned by frexp, |arg*2-e
| is between 0.5 and 1.
