Doc fix for 'frexp' in arith.texi
It is the magnitude of the return value which lies in [0.5, 1), not the return value itself. --- 2013-05-28 Ben North <ben@redfrontdoor.org> * manual/arith.texi (frexp): It is the magnitude of the return value which lies in [0.5, 1), not the return value itself.

If the argument @var{value} is not zero, the return value is @var{value} -times a power of two, and is always in the range 1/2 (inclusive) to 1 -(exclusive). The corresponding exponent is stored in +times a power of two, and its magnitude is always in the range 1/2 +(inclusive) to 1 (exclusive). The corresponding exponent is stored in @code{*@var{exponent}}; the return value multiplied by 2 raised to this exponent equals the original number @var{value}. |
