LOG10()

LOG10()

Decadic logarithm of a number

Syntax

      LOG10( <nNumber> ) -> nLogarithm

Arguments

<nNumber> number to logarithm

Returns

<nLogarithm> decadic logarithm of <nNumber>

Description

The function LOG10() calculates the decadic logarithm of <nNumber>, i.e. 10ˆ<nLogarithm> == <nNumber>.

Examples

      ? log10( 10.0 )         // --> 1.0
      ? log10( sqrt( 10.0 ) ) // --> 0.5

Tests

      log10( 10.0 )         == 1.0
      log10( sqrt( 10.0 ) ) == 0.5

Compliance

LOG10() is compatible with CT3’s LOG10().

 LOG10()
 Computes the common logarithm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     LOG10(<nValue>) --> nLog10

 Argument

     <nValue>  Designates a number for which the base 10 logarithm is
     determined.

 Returns

     LOG10() returns the base 10 logarithm for the <nValue> number.

 Description

     LOG10() determines the common logarithm for a number.

 Note

     .  For non-mathematicians, look at it this way:  to what power
        must 10 be raised (10n) so that <nValue> results?

 Example

     Display common logarithm values:

     ? LOG10(0.01)            // -2.00
     ? LOG10(2)               //  0.30
     ? LOG10(100)             //  2.00
     ? LOG10(INFINITY())      //  308.25
