What base is log in python?
Python offers many inbuild logarithmic functions under the module “math” which allows us to compute logs using a single line. There are 4 variants of logarithmic functions, all of which are discussed in this article. Show Syntax : math.log(a,Base) Parameters : a : The numeric value Base : Base to which the logarithm has to be computed. Return Value : Returns natural log if 1 argument is passed and log with specified base if 2 arguments are passed. Exceptions : Raises ValueError if a negative no. is passed as argument. Python3
Output : Natural logarithm of 14 is : 2.6390573296152584 Logarithm base 5 of 14 is : 1.6397385131955606 2. log2(a) : This function is used to compute the logarithm base 2 of a. Displays more accurate result than log(a,2). Syntax : math.log2(a) Parameters : a : The numeric value Return Value : Returns logarithm base 2 of a Exceptions : Raises ValueError if a negative no. is passed as argument. Python3
Output : Logarithm base 2 of 14 is : 3.807354922057604 3. log10(a) : This function is used to compute the logarithm base 10 of a. Displays more accurate result than log(a,10). Syntax : math.log10(a) Parameters : a : The numeric value Return Value : Returns logarithm base 10 of a Exceptions : Raises ValueError if a negative no. is passed as argument. Python3
Output : Logarithm base 10 of 14 is : 1.146128035678238 3. log1p(a) : This function is used to compute logarithm(1+a) . Syntax : math.log1p(a) Parameters : a : The numeric value Return Value : Returns log(1+a) Exceptions : Raises ValueError if a negative no. is passed as argument. Python3
Output : Logarithm(1+a) value of 14 is : 2.70805020110221 Exception 1. ValueError : This function returns value error if number is negative. Python3
Output : log(a) value of -14 is : Runtime Error : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/8a74e9d7e5adfdb902ab15712cbaafe2.py", line 9, in print (math.log(-14)) ValueError: math domain error Practical Application One of the application of log10() function is that it is used to compute the no. of digits of a number. Code below illustrates the same. Python3
Output : The number of digits in 73293 are : 5 This article is contributed by

How do you define a log in Python?1. log(a,(Base)) : This function is used to compute the natural logarithm (Base e) of a. If 2 arguments are passed, it computes the logarithm of the desired base of argument a, numerically value of log(a)/log(Base). Syntax : math.
How do you do log base 2 in Python?Use math. log2() to compute the log base 2 of a number
Call math. log2(x) to return the base 2 logarithm of a number x as a float.
Which is the base in log?Basically, logarithmic transformations ask, “a number, to what power equals another number?” In particular, logs do that for specific numbers under the exponent. This number is called the base. In your classes you will really only encounter logs for two bases, 10 and e.
Is log in Python LN?Python's log10 function calculates the base-10 log of a number. Python doesn't have an ln function, use log for natural logarithms.
