Math.log()
Pruébalo
La función Math.log()
devuelve la base neutral de un número (base e
)
La función en JavaScrcrip Math.log()
es equivalente a ln(x) en matematicas.
Sintaxis
Math.log(x)
Parametetros
x
- Es un numero.
Retorna el valor
Descripcion
If the value of x
is negative, the return value is always NaN
.
Because log()
is a static method of Math
, you always use it as Math.log()
, rather than as a method of a Math
object you created (Math
is not a constructor).
If you need the natural log of 2 or 10, use the constants Math.LN2
or Math.LN10
. If you need a logarithm to base 2 or 10, use Math.log2()
or Math.log10()
. If you need a logarithm to other bases, use Math.log(x) / Math.log(otherBase) as in the example below; you might want to precalculate 1 / Math.log(otherBase) .
Examples
Using Math.log()
Math.log(-1); // NaN, out of range
Math.log(0); // -Infinity
Math.log(1); // 0
Math.log(10); // 2.302585092994046
Using Math.log()
with a different base
The following function returns the logarithm of y
with base x
(ie. ):
function getBaseLog(x, y) {
return Math.log(y) / Math.log(x);
}
If you run getBaseLog(10, 1000)
it returns 2.9999999999999996
due to floating-point rounding, which is very close to the actual answer of 3.
