Summary

Function: float llLog10( float val );
0.0 Forced Delay
10.0 Energy

Returns a float that is the base 10 Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationlogarithm of val.
If val <= 0 return zero instead.

• float val

To get the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationnatural 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
