C Library Function - log10()

C Standard Library - <math.h>

Description

The C library function double log10(double x) returns the common logarithm (base-10 logarithm) of x.

Declaration

Here is the declaration for the log10() function.

double log10(double x)

Parameters

Return Value

This function returns the common logarithm of x, for values of x greater than 0.

Example

The following example demonstrates the use of the log10() function.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main ()
{
   double x, ret;
   x = 10000;

   /* Calculate log10(10000) */
   ret = log10(x);
   printf("log10(%lf) = %lf\n", x, ret);

   return(0);
}

Let's compile and run the above program, which will produce the following result:

log10(10000.000000) = 4.000000
