Javascript Math.log1p() is an inbuilt function in JavaScript that gives the value of the natural logarithm of 1 + p number. The natural logarithm is of base e, where e is an irrational and transcendental number approximately equal to 2.718.
Syntax:
Math.log1p(1 + p)
Below example illustrate the JavaScript Math.log1p() Method in JavaScript:
Example 1: In this example, we will find the logarithms of some basic numbers.
javascript
console.log(Math.log1p(1000));
console.log(Math.log1p(12));
console.log(Math.log1p(26));
console.log(Math.log1p(5));
|
Output:
6.90875477931522
2.5649493574615367
3.295836866004329
1.791759469228055
Example 2: In this example, we will use a for loop to get the logarithms of numbers from 1 to 19 with an increment of 3.
javascript
for (i = 1; i < 20; i += 3) {
console.log(Math.log1p(i));
}

Output:
0.6931471805599453
1.6094379124341003
2.0794415416798357

Errors and exceptions: Parameters for this function should always be a number otherwise it returns NaN i.e, not a number when its parameter is taken as a string.
Example 1: Here NaN comes in output as we have passed a string in the Math.log1p() function.
javascript
console.log(Math.log1p( "gfg" ));
|
Output:
NaN
Example 2: This function gives an error when its parameter is taken as a complex number because it accepts only integer value as the parameter.
javascript
console.log(Math.log1p(1 + 2i));
|
Output:
Error: Invalid or unexpected token
Example 3: This function returns NaN i.e, not a number if the parameter is less than -1 because the number should be any positive number i.e, greater than 0.
javascript
console.log(Math.log1p(-2));
|
Output:
NaN
