Library
Math Library (libm, -lm)
Overview
The log(), logf(), and logl() functions compute the natural logarithm of x.
The log10(), log10f(), and log10l() functions compute the logarithm base 10 of x, while log2(), log2f(), and log2l() compute the logarithm base 2 of x.
The log1p(), log1pf(), and log1pl() functions compute the natural logarithm of 1 + x. Computing the natural logarithm as log1p(x) is more accurate than computing it as log(1 + x) when x is close to zero.
Return values
These functions return the requested logarithm; the logarithm of 1 is +0. An attempt to take the logarithm of 0 results in a divide-by-zero exception, and - is returned. Otherwise, attempting to take the logarithm of a negative number results in an invalid exception and a return value of .
