Compute the logarithm of the argument x element by element.
- Usage
log(x , b)general logarithm to base b log(x)common logarithm (base 10) ln(x)natural logarithm (base e) alias: log(x,e)ld(x)logarithm to the base 2 alias: log(x,2)
- x
- a scalar, vector or matrix; all elements must be greater than 0
- b
- the base of the logarithm; must be a positive number
- Result
- The result r has the same type as x and contains the logarithm of x to the specified base b, computed element by element.
- See also
- npow2, exp, lin2log, log2lin
- Note
- For the inverse function the operater ^ can be used; e.g.: 10^x, e^x, ...
Example:
#a := eval 20*log(2) // convert factor 2 to 6dB
#b := eval 20*log(2,10) // same as above
#c := eval 20*log(fill(2,10,20,50,100))
// $#c = { 6.02, 20, 26.02, 33.98, 40 }
