Natural Logarithm

Computes the natural logarithm.

Installation

$ npm install math-ln

Usage

var ln = require( 'math-ln' );

ln( x )

Computes the natural logarithm.

var val = ln( 4 );
// returns ~1.386

val = ln( 0 );
// returns -infinity

val = ln( Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY );
// returns +infinity

For negative numbers, the natural logarithm is not defined.

var val = ln( -4 );
// returns NaN

Examples

var ln = require( 'math-ln' );

var x;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
	x = Math.round( Math.random() * 100 );
	console.log( ln( x ) );
}

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,

Tests

Unit

This repository uses tape for unit tests. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.

Test Coverage

This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test-cov

Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage directory. To access an HTML version of the report,

$ make view-cov

Browser Support

This repository uses Testling for browser testing. To run the tests in a (headless) local web browser, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test-browsers

To view the tests in a local web browser,
