We use the  **`scalbnf()`** function to compute the product of a given number with **`FLT_RADIX`** raised to the given power.

`FLT_RADIX` is a constant which serves as the base of the exponent. 

>Usually, in all computers, this value is 2.

# Library For C++
```c++
#include<cmath>
``` 

# Library For C
```c
#include<math.h>
``` 
> We have to use `#include<cfloat>` library for C++ and `#include<float.h>` library for C to access `FLT_RADIX`.
# Syntax
```c
float scalbnf(float num, int n)
```

# Parameters

`num:` Accepts input value of a float type. This is the coefficient or mantissa value.

`n:` Exponent value or the number to which `FLT_RADIX` is raised.

# Return value
The return value is the product of the given number, `num`, with `FLT_RADIX` raised to power `n.`

# Formula


#include <iostream>
#include<cmath>
#include <cfloat>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
  float num = 5.2;
  int n = 4;
  float result = 0;
  cout << num << " * " << FLT_RADIX << "^" << n << " = " << scalbnf(num , n) << endl;

}
