3.1 version

[Mr. Kibernetik]

Function LOG(x) will be duplicated as LN(x).

[Mr. Kibernetik]

New functions will be added:

LOG (x, y)
returns logarithm of [x] to base [y].

LOG2 (x)
returns binary logarithm of [x].

LOG10 (x)
returns decimal logarithm of [x].

[Dalede]

Function LOG(x) will be duplicated as LN(x).

LN(x) is usually a natural log (base e)

LN(x) is usually a natural log (base e)

Dale

Yes, ECMA BASIC defines LOG() as natural logarithm. Now LN() will be the same, just one more name for this function.

Ah, LOG is usually base 10 in most Basics. I hadn't realized it was base e in this basic. Have yet to try it out!

Dale

Yes, LOG() is not the best name for natural logarithm. But let it be so for the sake of standard.

[Mr. Kibernetik]

New math operation will be implemented: % (remainder of division)

5%3=2

[Mr. Kibernetik]

Command OPTION BASE will accept expressions:

OPTION BASE n
makes array indices start with [n]. Valid values are 0 or 1. Default is 0.

Log(x) being the natural log of x in the original BASIC has been a pain for over 40 years! I recall having arguments about it when I was just 15.

Thanks for making LN() ... It's one of the first things I usually do when writing math code ... I like the variations too...being able to express the base is helpful.
