NAME
|
|
log2 - base 10 logarithm
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
log2(x [,eps])
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
x nonzero real or complex
|
|
eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon()
|
|
|
|
return real or complex
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Approximate the base 2 logarithm function of x by a multiple of
|
|
epsilon, the error having absolute value less than 0.75 * eps.
|
|
|
|
If y is a positive integer, log(x, 2^-y) will usually be correct
|
|
to the y-th decimal place.
|
|
|
|
When x if a power of 2, log2(x) will return an integer regardless
|
|
of the value of eps or epsilon().

|
; print log(127), log(23209), log(2^17-19)
