Summary
Function: float llLog10( float val );| 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
default
{
state_entry()
{
float num1 = llFrand(100.0);
llOwnerSay("The base 10 logarithm of " + (string)num1 + " is " + (string)llLog10(num1));
}
}
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.
float LogBaseN = llLog(value) / llLog(Base); //This technique introduces errors but is the only way
