- log EXPR
-
- log
-
Returns the natural logarithm (base e) of EXPR. If EXPR is omitted, returns log
of $_. To get the log of another base, use basic algebra: The base-N log of a
number is equal to the natural log of that number divided by the natural log of N. For
example:
sub log10 {
my $n = shift;
return log($n)/log(10);
}
