log, logf, logl - cppreference.com

float       logf( float arg );

(1) (since C99)

double      log( double arg );

(2)

long double logl( long double arg );

(3) (since C99)

#define log( arg )

(4) (since C99)

1-3) Computes the natural (base e) logarithm of arg.

4)

Type-generic macro: If

arg

has type

long double

,

logl

is called. Otherwise, if

arg

has integer type or the type

double

,

log

is called. Otherwise,

logf

is called. If

arg

is complex or imaginary, then the macro invokes the corresponding complex function (

clogf

,

clog

,

clogl

).

[edit] Parameters arg - floating-point value [edit] Return value

If no errors occur, the natural (base-e) logarithm of arg (ln(arg) or loge(arg)) is returned.

If a domain error occurs, an implementation-defined value is returned (NaN where supported).

If a pole error occurs, -HUGE_VAL, -HUGE_VALF, or -HUGE_VALL is returned.

[edit] Error handling

Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.

Domain error occurs if arg is less than zero.

Pole error may occur if arg is zero.

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),

[edit] Example
#include <errno.h>
#include <fenv.h>
#include <float.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
// #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
 
int main(void)
{
    printf("log(1) = %f\n", log(1));
    printf("base-5 logarithm of 125 = %f\n", log(125) / log(5));
 
    // special values
    printf("log(1) = %f\n", log(1));
    printf("log(+Inf) = %f\n", log(INFINITY));
 
    // error handling
    errno = 0; feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
    printf("log(0) = %f\n", log(0));
    if (errno == ERANGE)
        perror("    errno == ERANGE");
    if (fetestexcept(FE_DIVBYZERO))
        puts("    FE_DIVBYZERO raised");
}

Output:

log(1) = 0.000000
base-5 logarithm of 125 = 3.000000
log(1) = 0.000000
log(+Inf) = inf
log(0) = -inf
    errno == ERANGE: Numerical result out of range
    FE_DIVBYZERO raised
