LN(number)


  • where is the any positive real number.

Description

  • This function gives the Natural Logarithm of a number.
  •   is the logarithm in which the base is the irrational number   ( = 2.71828...).
  • For example,  
  • It was formely also called Hyperbolic logarithm.
  • And also called Napierian logarithm.
  • The constant   is called Euler's number.
  • The Natural Logarithm is denoted by   or  .
  • where   is the Positive real number.
  • The   is the inverse function of the exponential function   if  .
  •  

ZOS Section

  • The syntax is to calculate Natural logarithm in ZOS is  .
      • where   is the any positive real number.
  • For e.g.,LN(20..23)

Examples

  • =LN(15) = 2.708050201
  • =LN(8.3) = 2.116255515
  • =LN(1) = 0
  • =LN(0) = INFINITY
  • =LN(-20) = NAN
  • =LN(exp(5)) = 5
  • =EXP(LN(7)) = 7
