IMLN(z)

This function gives the Natural Logarithm of a complex number.
In IMLN(z), where $z$ is the complex number in the form of $x+iy$ . i.e $x$ & $y$ are the real numbers.
$I$ imaginary unit $i=sqrt{-1}$ .
A logarithm of $z$ is a complex number w such that $z=e^{w}$ and it is denoted by $ln(z)$ .
If $z=x+iy$ with $x$ & $y$ are real numbers then natural logarithm of a complex number :

$ln(z)=w=ln(|z|)+iarg(z)=ln({\sqrt {x^{2}+y^{2}}}+itan^{-1}({\frac {y}{x}}$ adding integer multiples of $2\pi i$ gives all the others.

We can use COMPLEX function to convert real and imaginary number in to a complex number.

IMLN("3-2i")=1.28247467873077-0.588002603547568i
IMLN("6+7i")=2.22132562824516+0.862170054667226i
IMLN("4")=1.38629436111989 But calci is not considering the zero value of imaginary value of z.
IMLN("10i")=2.30258509299405+1.5707963267949i
