Math.log1p() function returns the natural logarithm (base e ) of 1 + a number, that is

x > - 1 , Math.log1p ( x ) = ln ( 1 + x ) \forall x > -1, \mathtt{\operatorname{Math.log1p}(x)} = \ln(1 + x)

句法

Math.log1p(x)
					

参数

x

A number.

返回值

The natural logarithm (base e ) of 1 plus the given number. If the number is less than -1 , NaN 被返回。

描述

For very small values of x , adding 1 can reduce or eliminate precision.  The double floats used in JS give you about 15 digits of precision.  1 + 1e-15 = 1.000000000000001, but 1 + 1e-16 = 1.000000000000000 and therefore exactly 1.0 in that arithmetic, because digits past 15 are rounded off.

When you calculate log(1 + x), you should get an answer very close to x, if x is small (that's why these are called 'natural' logarithms).  If you calculate Math.log(1 + 1.1111111111e-15) you should get an answer close to 1.1111111111e-15.  Instead, you will end up taking the logarithm of 1.00000000000000111022 (the roundoff is in binary so sometimes it gets ugly) , so you get the answer 1.11022...e-15, with only  3 correct digits.  If, instead, you calculate Math.log1p( 1.1111111111e-15 ) you will get a much more accurate answer 1.1111111110999995e-15 with 15 correct digits of precision (actually 16 in this case).

If the value of x is less than -1, the return value is always NaN .

因为 log1p() is a static method of Math , you always use it as Math.log1p() , rather than as a method of a Math object you created ( Math is not a constructor).

Polyfill

This can be emulated with the following function:

Math.log1p = Math.log1p || function(x) {
  x = Number(x);
  if (x < -1 || x !== x)
    return NaN;
  if (x === 0 || x === Infinity)
    return x;
  var nearX = (x + 1) - 1;
  return nearX === 0 ? x : x * (Math.log(x + 1) / nearX);
};
					

范例

使用 Math.log1p()

Math.log1p(1);  // 0.6931471805599453
Math.log1p(0);  // 0
Math.log1p(-1); // -Infinity
Math.log1p(-2); // NaN
