Logarithms and natural logarithms
log¶
Natural logarithm
log x log[x]Where x is numeric and
- null, returns null
- 0, returns
-0w - a datetime, returns
x - otherwise, the natural logarithm of

xlog¶
Logarithm
x xlog y xlog[x;y]Returns the base-xf logarithm of yf, where xf and yf are x and y cast to floats, i.e. "f"$(x;y).
Where yf is negative or zero, the result is null and negative infinity respectively.
