Exponent[expr, form, h] applies h to the set of exponents with which form appears in expr.


Notes

• Example: Exponent[x^2 + a x^3, x]LongRightArrow .
• The default taken for h is Max.
• Example: Exponent[x^2 + a x^3, x, List]LongRightArrow .
form can be a product of terms.
Exponent works whether or not expr is explicitly given in expanded form.
