\begin{funcdesc}{frexp}{x}
Return the matissa and exponent for \var{x}. The mantissa is
positive.
Convert a floating-point number to fractional and integral
components. If \var{x} is zero, returns \code{(0.0, 0)}, otherwise
returns \code{(\var{frac}, \var{exp})} such that \code{\var{frac} *
2**\var{exp}} will equal \var{x}. \var{exp} will be an integer, and
the absolute value of \var{frac} will be in the range [0.5, 1.0)
(\var{frac} will share the sign of \var{x}).
