Functions

Note:

These functions are defined by BaseSkript. You may also create your own functions! Tutorial for doing so is planned, but right now you need to seek it elsewhere.

log

🔗

Function

Since: 2.2
Return Type: Number
A logarithm, with base 10 if none is specified. This is the inverse operation to exponentiation (for positive bases only), i.e. log(base ^ exponent, base) = exponent for any positive number 'base' and any number 'exponent'. Another useful equation is base ^ log(a, base) = a for any numbers 'base' and 'a'. Please note that due to how numbers are represented in computers, these equations do not hold for all numbers, as the computed values may slightly differ from the correct value. Returns NaN (not a number) if any of the arguments are negative.

log(100) = 2 # 10^2 = 100
log(16, 2) = 4 # 2^4 = 16
