The Math.log2()
static method returns the base 2 logarithm of a number. That is
console.log(Math.log2(3));
// Expected output: 1.584962500721156
console.log(Math.log2(2));
// Expected output: 1
console.log(Math.log2(1));
// Expected output: 0
console.log(Math.log2(0));
// Expected output: -Infinity
Syntax Parameters
x
A number greater than or equal to 0.
The base 2 logarithm of x
. If x < 0
, returns NaN
.
Because log2()
is a static method of Math
, you always use it as Math.log2()
, rather than as a method of a Math
object you created (Math
is not a constructor).
This function is the equivalent of Math.log(x) / Math.log(2)
. For log2(e)
, use the constant Math.LOG2E
, which is 1 / Math.LN2
.
Math.log2(-2); // NaN
Math.log2(-0); // -Infinity
Math.log2(0); // -Infinity
Math.log2(1); // 0
Math.log2(2); // 1
Math.log2(3); // 1.584962500721156
Math.log2(1024); // 10
Math.log2(Infinity); // Infinity
