Ruby | Math log() function
The log() function in Ruby returns the logarithm value of X. The second parameter is the base given by the user to which the logarithm value is returned. In case its not given, then the default base is e.
Syntax: Math.log(X, base)
Parameter: The function takes one mandatory parameter X whose logarithm value is to be returned and a non-mandatory parameter base, to whose base is the logarithm.
Return Value: The function returns the logarithm value of X.
Example 1:
# Ruby program for log() function # Assigning valuesval1 = 213val2 = 256base2 = 2 val3 = 27 base3 = 3 val4 = 100 base4 = 10 # Prints the value returned by log() puts Math.log(val1) puts Math.log(val2, base2) puts Math.log(val3, base3) puts Math.log(val4, base4) |
Output:
5.3612921657094255 8.0 3.0 2.0
Example 2:
# Ruby program for log() function # Assigning valuesval1 = 10 val2 = 256base2 = 4 val3 = 27 base3 = 10 val4 = 105 base4 = 7 # Prints the value returned by log() puts Math.log(val1) puts Math.log(val2, base2) puts Math.log(val3, base3) puts Math.log(val4, base4) |
Output:
2.302585092994046 4.0 1.4313637641589871 2.3916625094004957
