numpy.frexp  
numpy.frexp(x[, out1, out2]) = <ufunc 'frexp'>  
Decompose the elements of x into mantissa and twos exponent. Returns (mantissa, exponent), where x = mantissa * 2**exponent`. The mantissa is lies in the open interval(-1, 1), while the twos exponent is a signed integer.    
Parameters:

x : array_like Array of numbers to be decomposed. out1 : ndarray, optional Output array for the mantissa. Must have the same shape as x. out2 : ndarray, optional Output array for the exponent. Must have the same shape as x.   
Returns:

(mantissa, exponent) : tuple of ndarrays, (float, int) mantissa is a float array with values between -1 and 1. exponent is an int array which represents the exponent of 2.     See also

 Compute y = x1 * 2**x2, the inverse of frexp.   Notes Complex dtypes are not supported, they will raise a TypeError. Examples >>> x = np.arange(9)
>>> y1, y2 = np.frexp(x)
>>> y1
array([ 0.   ,  0.5  ,  0.5  ,  0.75 ,  0.5  ,  0.625,  0.75 ,  0.875,
        0.5  ])
>>> y2
array([0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4])
>>> y1 * 2**y2
array([ 0.,  1.,  2.,  3.,  4.,  5.,  6.,  7.,  8.])
