Math.log() function returns the natural logarithm (base e ) of a number, that is

x > 0 , Math.log ( x ) = ln ( x ) = the unique y such that e y = x \forall x > 0, \mathtt{\operatorname{Math.log}(x)} = \ln(x) = \text{the unique} \; y \; \text{such that} \; e^y = x

JavaScript Math.log() function is equivalent to ln(x) in mathematics.

句法

Math.log(x)
					

参数

x

A number.

返回值

The natural logarithm (base e ) of the given number. If the number is negative, NaN 被返回。

描述

If the value of x is 0, the return value is always -Infinity .

If the value of x is negative, the return value is always NaN .

因为 log() is a static method of Math , you always use it as Math.log() , rather than as a method of a Math object you created ( Math is not a constructor).

If you need the natural log of 2 or 10, use the constants Math.LN2 or Math.LN10 .  If you need a logarithm to base 2 or 10, use Math.log2() or Math.log10() .  If you need a logarithm to other bases, use Math.log(x) / Math.log(otherBase) as in the example below; you might want to precalculate 1 / Math.log(otherBase).

范例

使用 Math.log()

Math.log(-1); // NaN, out of range
Math.log(0);  // -Infinity
Math.log(1);  // 0
Math.log(10); // 2.302585092994046
					

使用 Math.log() with a different base

The following function returns the logarithm of y with base x (ie. log x y \log_x y ):

function getBaseLog(x, y) {
  return Math.log(y) / Math.log(x);
}
					

If you run getBaseLog(10, 1000) it returns 2.9999999999999996 due to floating-point rounding, which is very close to the actual answer of 3.
