Math.expm1(1) β‰ˆ e - 1 β‰ˆ 1.718

πŸ“– Usage Example
// e^x minus 1, precise for very small x
Math.expm1(0)     // β†’ 0
Math.expm1(0.001) // β†’ 0.0010005...

Use Math.expm1(x) instead of Math.exp(x) - 1 for small x values to avoid floating-point precision loss.

Math.expm1(x)

Math.expm1(1) returns Math.E - 1 (approximately 1.7183).

Challenge: Verify that Math.expm1(1) equals Math.E - 1.
