log
logf

Syntax
#include <math.h>
double log(double x);
float logf(float x);

Arguments

  • x is the original value
Return Value
The natural logarithm of x

Explanation
It calculates the natural logarithm of x by using this formula:
log(x) = 2* ((x-1)/(x+1) +2/3* ((X-1)/(X+1))^3
   + (2/(2k+1) (x-1)/(x+1)^(2k+1)  (k=0,1,2....)
log(2^k *x) = k * log(2) + log(x)
Note
This standard function comes with NuSystem.
