The ilogb(x) function in C++ STL returns the integral part of the logarithm of |x|, by using the FLT_RADIX as base for the logarithm. In general, the value of FLT_RADIX is 2, so ilogb() is equivalent to ilog2()(for positive values only).
 

Syntax:  

ilogb(x)

Parameter: The function accepts a single mandatory parameter x whose ilogb() is to be calculated. The data-type can be of double, float, long double or int. 
Return Value: The function returns an integral part of the logarithm of |x|, using FLT_RADIX as base for the logarithm. The function returns three exception values:  

  • If the argument is NaN, it returns FP_LOGBNAN.
  • If the argument is infinite, it returns INT_MAX
  • If the argument is 0, it returns FP_LOGB0.

Time Complexity: O(1)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
Below programs illustrate the above function: 
Program 1:  

CPP




// C++ program to illustrate the ilogb()
// function when input is an integer
#include <cfloat>
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    int result, x = 25;
 
    // Function to calculate ilogb(25)
    result = ilogb(x);
    cout << "ilogb (" << x << ") = " << result << endl;
 
    // Function to calculate ilogb(50)
    x = 50;
    result = ilogb(x);
    cout << "ilogb (" << x << ") = " << result << endl;
 
    return 0;
}


Output: 

ilogb (25) = 4
ilogb (50) = 5

 

Program 2
Program for non-integral type 

CPP




// C++ program to illustrate the ilogb()
// function when input is a double value
#include <cfloat>
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    int result, x = 11.11;
 
    result = ilogb(x);
    cout << "ilogb (" << x << ") = " << result << endl;
 
    x = 41.11;
    result = ilogb(x);
    cout << "ilogb (" << x << ") = " << result << endl;
 
    return 0;
}


Output: 

ilogb (11) = 3
ilogb (41) = 5

 

Program 3:  

CPP




// C++ program to illustrate the ilogb()
// function when input is 0
#include <cfloat>
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
#include <iostream>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    int result, x = 0;
 
    result = ilogb(x);
    cout << "ilogb (" << x << ") = " << result << endl;
 
    return 0;
}


Output: 

ilogb (0) = -2147483648
