Applies to TestComplete 15.47, last modified on January 20, 2023

Description

Use this routine to calculate a natural logarithm of any positive number. The natural logarithm is the logarithm to the base of e, where e is a constant that approximately equals to 2.718282.

Using this routine you can also calculate the base-n logarithms for any number x by dividing the natural logarithm of x by the natural logarithm of n as follows: Logn(x)=Log(x)/Log(n)

This method is available if the BuiltIn plugin is installed and enabled. The plugin is installed and enabled by default.
