The Javascript Math.log2() is an inbuilt method in JavaScript that gives the value of base 2 logarithms of any number.
Syntax:
Math.log2(p)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter p which is any number whose base 2 logarithms is to be calculated.
Returns: It returns the value of base 2 logarithms of any number.
Let's see some JavaScript code on this method:
Example 1: In this example, we will see the logs of various numbers using the Math.log2() method.
JavaScript
// Different numbers are being taken
// as the parameter of the method.
console.log(Math.log2(1000));
console.log(Math.log2(12));
console.log(Math.log2(26));
console.log(Math.log2(5));

Example 2: In this example, we will use a for loop to get the log of numbers that are a multiple of three upto 20.
JavaScript
// Taken parameter from 1 to 19 incremented by 3.
for (i = 3; i < 20; i += 3) {
console.log(Math.log2(i));
}
1.584962500721156 2.584962500721156 3.169925001442312 3.584962500721156 3.9068905956085187 4.169925001442312
Errors and exceptions: Parameters for this method should always be a number otherwise it returns NaN i.e, not a number when its parameter is taken as a string.
Example 1: In this example, the Math.log2() method returns Nan as a string is passed in the method.
JavaScript
// Parameters for this method should always be a
// number otherwise it return NaN i.e, not a number
// when its parameter taken as string.
console.log(Math.log2("gfg"));
Example 2: This method gives an error when its parameter is taken as a complex number because it accepts only integer value as the parameter.
JavaScript
// Parameters can never be a complex number because
// it accept only integer value as the parameter.
console.log(Math.log2(1 + 2i));
Output:
Error: Invalid or unexpected tokenApplication:
Whenever we need the value of base 2 logarithms of any number that time we take the help of this method. Its value is needed many times in mathematics problems.
Let's see the JavaScript code for this application:
Example 1: This example shows the demonstration of the above approach.
JavaScript
// taking parameter as number 14 and
//calculated in the form of method.
function value_of_base_2_logarithms_of_any_number() {
return Math.log2(14);
}
console.log(value_of_base_2_logarithms_of_any_number());
