NAME¶

std::log10,std::log10f,std::log10l - std::log10,std::log10f,std::log10l

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <cmath>
float log10 ( float arg );
float log10f( float arg ); (since C++11)
double log10 ( double arg ); (1) (2)
long double log10 ( long double arg );
long double log10l( long double arg ); (3) (since C++11)
double log10 ( IntegralType arg ); (4) (since C++11)

1-3) Computes the common (base-10) logarithm of arg.
4) A set of overloads or a function template accepting an argument of any integral
type. Equivalent to 2) (the argument is cast to double).

Parameters¶

arg - value of floating-point or Integral type

Return value¶

If no errors occur, the common (base-10) logarithm of arg (log
10(arg) or lg(arg)) is returned.

If a domain error occurs, an implementation-defined value is returned (NaN where
supported)

If a pole error occurs, -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL is returned.

Error handling¶

Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.

Domain error occurs if arg is less than zero.

Pole error may occur if arg is zero.

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),

* If the argument is ±0, -∞ is returned and FE_DIVBYZERO is raised.
* If the argument is 1, +0 is returned
* If the argument is negative, NaN is returned and FE_INVALID is raised.
* If the argument is +∞, +∞ is returned
* If the argument is NaN, NaN is returned

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <cerrno>
#include <cstring>
#include <cfenv>
// #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
int main()
{
std::cout << "log10(1000) = " << std::log10(1000) << '\n'
<< "log10(0.001) = " << std::log10(0.001) << '\n'
<< "base-5 logarithm of 125 = " << std::log10(125)/std::log10(5) << '\n';
// special values
std::cout << "log10(1) = " << std::log10(1) << '\n'
<< "log10(+Inf) = " << std::log10(INFINITY) << '\n';
// error handling
errno = 0;
std::feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
std::cout << "log10(0) = " << std::log10(0) << '\n';
if (errno == ERANGE)
std::cout << " errno == ERANGE: " << std::strerror(errno) << '\n';
if (std::fetestexcept(FE_DIVBYZERO))
std::cout << " FE_DIVBYZERO raised\n";
}

Possible output:¶

log10(1000) = 3
log10(0.001) = -3
base-5 logarithm of 125 = 3
log10(1) = 0
log10(+Inf) = inf
log10(0) = -inf
errno == ERANGE: Numerical result out of range
FE_DIVBYZERO raised
