As the first executable line of your program, put
format long g
After that, you will not get those silly 1.0e+007 * displays, and you will be able to see why the mantissa showed up as 1.3375 instead of 0.000 .

I am not sure what you mean by large_exp(). I assume it is a function you wrote, or maybe it is in a toolbox that I do not have. Regardless, I expect that you can get at what you need by using the floor() function.

inorder to calculate exp me used a function call and it gives expx =
1.0e+003 *
0.0074 1.7780 as my value for fimdimg exp(4096) the ans is the mantissa part alone ie)i want to get only 1.0e+003 *
0.0074 alone for this wt is to b done

function expx = large_exp(x)
t = x/log(10);
expx = [10^(t-floor(t)), floor(t)];
this s the fuction pgm
