LOG10 function

Purpose | LOG returns the natural (base e) logarithm of its argument. LOG2 returns the base 2 logarithm. LOG10 returns the common (base 10) logarithm.
Syntax | y = LOG(numeric_expression) y = LOG2(numeric_expression) y = LOG10(numeric_expression)

Remarks

A logarithm of a number is the power to which the base would have to be raised to yield the number. Thus:

logarithm (base b) of n = x if b^x = n

and:

(base)^log(n) = n

The EXP functions complement the LOG functions. For example, if s = LOG(t), then t = EXP(s).

By definition, the logarithm (any base) of 1 is 0. LOG returns the natural logarithm (base e, where e = 2.718282...) of its argument. LOG2 and LOG10 return the logarithm for base 2 and 10, respectively.

numeric_expression must be a value greater than zero.

LOG, LOG2, and LOG10 return Extended-precision values.
