<summary> About stdlib... </summary>

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Common Logarithm

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Evaluate the common logarithm.

The common logarithm (logarithm with base 10) is defined for any positive real number as

Equation for the common logarithm.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-log10

Usage

var log10 = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-log10' );

log10( x )

Evaluates the common logarithm.

var v = log10( 100.0 );
// returns 2.0

v = log10( 8.0 );
// returns ~0.903

v = log10( 0.0 );
// returns -Infinity

v = log10( Infinity );
// returns Infinity

v = log10( NaN );
// returns NaN

For negative numbers, the common logarithm is not defined.

var v = log10( -4.0 );
// returns NaN

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-round' );
var log10 = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-log10' );

var x;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = round( randu() * 100.0 );
    console.log( 'log10(%d) = %d', x, log10( x ) );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/log10.h"

stdlib_base_log10( x )

Evaluates the common logarithm.

double out = stdlib_base_log10( 100.0 );
// returns 2.0

out = stdlib_base_log10( 8.0 );
// returns ~0.903

The function accepts the following arguments:

  • x: [in] double input value.
double stdlib_base_log10( const double x );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/log10.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    double x;
    double v;
    int i;

    for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
        x = ( (double)rand() / (double)RAND_MAX ) * 100.0;
        v = stdlib_base_log10( x );
        printf( "log10(%lf) = %lf\n", x, v );
    }
}
