# xlogy
> Compute `x * ln(y)` so that the result is `0` if `x = 0`.
<section class="usage">
## Usage
```javascript
var xlogy = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/xlogy' );
```
#### xlogy( x, y )
Computes `x * ln(y)` so that the result is `0` if `x = 0`.
```javascript
var out = xlogy( 3.0, 2.0 );
// returns ~2.079
out = xlogy( 1.5, 5.9 );
// returns ~2.662
out = xlogy( 0.9, 1.0 );
// returns 0.0
out = xlogy( 0.0, -2.0 );
// returns 0.0
out = xlogy( 1.5, NaN );
// returns NaN
out = xlogy( 0.0, NaN );
// returns NaN
out = xlogy( NaN, 2.3 );
// returns NaN
```
