*This function gives the logarithm value with the base 10.
*The logarithm of x to base b is the solution y to the equation.i.e <math>b^y=x</math>.
*The logarithm of x to base b is the solution y to the equation.i.e <math>b^y=x</math>.
*For e.g The logarithm of 1000 to base 10 is 3. Because 1000=10*10*10=<math>10^3</math>.
*For e.g The logarithm of 1000 to base 10 is 3. Because 1000 = 10*10*10 = <math>10^3</math>.
*The logarithm of base 10 is called Common Logarithm or Decimal Logarithm.
*The logarithm of base 10 is called Common Logarithm or Decimal Logarithm.
*It is denoted by <math>\log_{10}</math> or <math>log(x)</math>.
*It is denoted by <math>\log_{10}</math> or <math>log(x)</math>.
*<math>\log_{10}(x)</math> is related to the number of decimal digits of a positive integer x: the number of digits is the smallest integer strictly bigger than <math>\log_{10}(x)</math>.
*<math>\log_{10}(x)</math> is related to the number of decimal digits of a positive integer x: the number of digits is the smallest integer strictly bigger than <math>\log_{10}(x)</math>.
*For e.g:log(5260)=3.7209, that is nearly(next digit) to 4.
*For e.g:log(5260)= 3.7209, that is nearly(next digit) to 4.
*That is the number of digits of 5260(4).
*That is the number of digits of 5260(4).
