LOG10

Description

The base ten logarithm. Gives the number of digits in the number before the decimal point. On zero, returns -inf. Below zero, returns NaN, a special value that always causes failure when compared to other numbers. Eg. (NaN<0) -> false, (Nan>=0) -> false

other logarithms:

log10(x) = log(x, 10)
log10(x)/log10(e) = ln(x)
log10(2)=0.3010-ish
log10(e)=0.4343-ish
log10(10)=1

Examples

trace(log10(1))  # prints '0'
trace(log10(10)) # prints '1'
