Returns the logarithm of a specified number in a specified base.

public:
 static double Log(double a, double newBase);

public static double Log(double a, double newBase);

static member Log : double * double -> double

Public Shared Function Log (a As Double, newBase As Double) As Double

Parameters

a: Double

The number whose logarithm is to be found.

newBase: Double

The base of the logarithm.

Returns

One of the values in the following table. (+Infinity denotes PositiveInfinity, -Infinity denotes NegativeInfinity, and NaN denotes NaN.)

a newBase Return value a> 0 (0 <newBase< 1) -or- (newBase> 1) lognewBase(a) a< 0 (any value) NaN (any value) newBase< 0 NaN a != 1 newBase = 0 NaN a != 1 newBase = +Infinity NaN a = NaN (any value) NaN (any value) newBase = NaN NaN (any value) newBase = 1 NaN a = 0 0 <newBase< 1 +Infinity a = 0 newBase> 1 -Infinity a = +Infinity 0 <newBase< 1 -Infinity a = +Infinity newBase> 1 +Infinity a = 1 newBase = 0 0 a = 1 newBase = +Infinity 0 Examples

The following example uses Log to evaluate certain logarithmic identities for selected values.
