Description | The ln function is used to find the natural logarithm (base e) of a number. For example, ln ( 1) is 0.
|
Example | This program prints out the logarithms of 1, 2, 3, … up to 100.
for i : 1 .. 100 put "Logarithm of ", i, " is ", ln ( i ) end for |
Details | See also the exp (exponential) function. You cannot take the logarithm of zero or a negative number.
