Hi Ashish,

You don't need gsl for this, just use the standard c library math.h (or
cmath in c++)

printf("%g\n", exp(-100));

returns the correct answer of 3.7e-44

There might be some penalty in terms of speed and accuracy, I don't
know, but it does return a value that should be at least in the ballpark

You might need to clarify this a bit more, I'm not sure that I understand
what you're asking

Cheers,
