Returns the mantissa and exponent of the input numeric value such that number = mantissa * 2^exponent.

If number is 0, both mantissa and exponent are 0. Otherwise, the absolute value of mantissa is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 2, and the value of exponent is an integer. The connector pane displays the default data types for this polymorphic function.
