log(x) log(x, base) log10(x) log2(x) exp(x)
x
| a numeric or complex vector. |
base
|
positive number. The base with respect to which
logarithms are computed. Defaults to e=exp(1).
|
log computes natural logarithms,
log10 computes common (i.e., base 10) logarithms, and
log2 computes binary (i.e., base 2) logarithms.
The general form log(x, base) computes logarithms with base
base (log10 and log2 are only special cases).
exp computes the exponential function.
