log1p
Evaluate the natural logarithm of
1+x
.
Usage
var log1p = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/log1p' );
log1p( x )
Evaluates the natural logarithm of 1+x
.
var v = log1p( 4.0 );
// returns ~1.609
v = log1p( -1.0 );
// returns -Infinity
v = log1p( Infinity );
// returns Infinity
v = log1p( 0.0 );
// returns 0.0
v = log1p( -0.0 );
// returns -0.0
v = log1p( NaN );
// returns NaN
For x < -1
, the function returns NaN
, as the natural logarithm is not defined for negative numbers.
var v = log1p( -2.0 );
// returns NaN
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var log1p = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/log1p' );
var x;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
x = round( randu() * 100.0 );
console.log( log1p( x ) );
}
