llLog10

Summary

Function: float llLog10( float val );

264	Function ID
0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Returns a float that is the base 10  logarithm of val.
If val <= 0 return zero instead.

• float

val

To get the  natural logarithm use llLog.
llLog10 should only be used where the base 10 log is needed, all other applications should use llLog instead.

Examples

<lsl>default {

 state_entry()
 {
   float num1 = llFrand(100.0);

   llOwnerSay("The base 10 logarithm of " + (string)num1 + " is " + (string)llLog10(num1));
 }

}</lsl>

Notes

There are only two log functions llLog and llLog10. Errors introduced as a result of floating-point arithmetic are most noticable when working with logarithms. llLog should be used instead of llLog10 when converting the base of the logarithm. <lsl>float LogBaseN = llLog(value) / llLog(Base); //This technique introduces errors but is the only way</lsl>
