StrictMath log10() Method in Java

The java.lang.StrictMath.log10() is an inbuilt method in Java which accepts a double value as parameter and returns the base 10 logarithm of that value. Thus calculating the base 10 logarithmic value for a given parameter. Syntax:

public static double log10(double val)

Parameters: The function accepts a double value, val as parameter whose base 10 logarithm is calculated. Return Values: This function returns the base 10 logarithm of val based on the following conditions:

• The function returns NaN if argument passed is NaN or less than zero
• The function returns positive infinity if argument passed is positive infinity
• The function returns negative infinity if the argument passed is zero.
• The function returns a if the argument passed is

Examples:

Input : 2018.0
Output : 7.609862200913554

Input : 1000000.0
Output : 6.0

Below programs illustrate the working of java.lang.StrictMath.log10() : Program 1: In this program , finite non-zero arguments are passed as parameter.

// Java Program to illustrate
// StrictMath.log10() function

import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;

class GFG {
     public static void main(String[] args) {

      double val1 = 2018.00567 , val2 = 100000.0;

      // Argument passed is infinite
      System.out.println("Base 10 Logarithm of " + val1 +
                    " is " + StrictMath.log10(val1));

    // Passing zero as argument
      System.out.println("Base 10 Logarithm of "+ val2
                      +" is "+ StrictMath.log10(val2));

   }
}

Output:

Base 10 Logarithm of 2018.00567 is 3.3049223821418496
Base 10 Logarithm of 100000.0 is 5.0

Program 2: In this program, infinity and zero are passed as parameter.

// Java Program to illustrate
// StrictMath.log10() function

import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;

class GFG {
     public static void main(String[] args) {

      double val = 2018/(0.0);

      System.out.println("Base 10 Logarithm of " + val +
                    " is " + StrictMath.log10(val));

      System.out.println("Base 10 Logarithm of 0 is "
                            + StrictMath.log10(0));

   }
}

Output:

Base 10 Logarithm of Infinity is Infinity
Base 10 Logarithm of 0 is -Infinity
