Mysql EXP() Function Example Using Java Servlet
In this tutorial you will learn about how to use the exp() function in math function of mysql with java servlet.
EXP() function in MySql takes the value into its parameter as an argument, this argument is treated as the power of natural logarithm number e, and the returned value is the calculated value as the power (passed argument) of the base value e.
Syntax :
exp(num);
Here num is a number which will be treated as power of 'e'.
Now, since I have to use this function in java servlet program, therefore I have created a java servlet class named MysqlExpServlet which extends the HttpServlet class. In the body of class I overridden the method doGet() and created an objects of HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse into its parameter. Inside the doGet() method first I set the mime type that in which format the browser will show the output. In the next line I used the getWriter() method of ServletResponse interface with the object of HttpServletResponse. HttpServletResponse interface extends this method from the ServletResponse. In Next step I am taking inputs using the getParameter() method of ServletRequest with the object of HttpServletRequest. In continue we have to establish a connection between java code and database system. So, since I am using Mysql in the example given below therefore, I am loading the driver of mysql and make a connection by using the getConnection() method of DriverManager class. It returns a Connection. Further I passed the query "SELECT EXP("+exp+")"; (Here 'exp' is a variable that stores the value given by the user in their respective textfields.) into the parameter of prepareStatement() method of Connection interface which gives an object of PreparedStatement interface. In the next line I used the executeQuery() method of PreparedStatement interface which returns a ResultSet object that holds the result of query. At last I have extracted the result from the ResultSet object.
Example :
exp.html
