----
The ''e'' function pushes on the stack a symbolic representation of the constant $e$.

Application of the ''[[manual:chapter6:operators:cmd_ovr_num|→NUM]]'' operator returns its closest approximation to 2000-digits accuracy, irrespective of the numeric precision defined by ''[[manual:chapter6:arithmetic:cmd_setprec|SETPREC]]''. This is done to ensure maximum accuracy if the symbolic expression is ultimately converted to a real number.
</callout>

<callout type="warning" icon="true" title="Compatibility">
----
''e'' is not fully equivalent to its **userRPL** counterpart.

In particular:

  * **userRPL** returns the closest approximation of $e$ to 12-digits accuracy.
