mathjs/src/function/arithmetic/log2.js

Math.js is an extensive math library for JavaScript and Node.js. It features a flexible expression parser with support for symbolic computation, comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants, and offers an integrated solution to work with dif

  /**
   * Calculate the 2-base of a value. This is the same as calculating `log(x, 2)`.
   *
   * For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise.
   *
   * Syntax:
   *
   *    math.log2(x)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *    math.log2(0.03125)           // returns -5
   *    math.log2(16)                // returns 4
   *    math.log2(16) / math.log2(2) // returns 4
   *    math.pow(2, 4)               // returns 16
   *
   * See also:
   *
   *    exp, log, log1p, log10

   * @param {number | BigNumber | Complex | Array | Matrix} x
   *            Value for which to calculate the logarithm.
   * @return {number | BigNumber | Complex | Array | Matrix}
   *            Returns the 2-base logarithm of `x`
