Compute the natural logarithm of a number
#include <math.h>
double log( double x );
float logf( float x );
- x
- The number that you want to compute the natural log of.
libm
Use the -l m option to
qcc
to link against this library.
The log() and logf() functions compute the natural logarithm (base
e) of x:
loge x
A domain error occurs if x is negative.
A range error occurs if x is zero.
The natural logarithm of x.

If an error occurs, these functions return 0, but this is also a valid
mathematical result.
If you want to check for errors, set
errno
to 0, call the function, and then check errno again.
These functions don't change errno if no errors occurred. |
