# MathLog
|
||
|
||
The function returns a natural logarithm.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
double MathLog(
|
||
double val // value to take the logarithm
|
||
);
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Parameters
|
||
|
||
val
|
||
|
||
[in] Value logarithm of which is to be found.
|
||
|
||
Return Value
|
||
|
||
The natural logarithm of val in case of success. If val is negative, the function returns NaN (undetermined value). If val is equal to 0, the function returns INF (infinity).
|
||
|
||
Note
|
||
|
||
Instead of MathLog() you can use log().
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
#define GRAPH_WIDTH 750
|
||
#define GRAPH_HEIGHT 350
|
||
|
||
#include <Graphics\Graphic.mqh>
|
||

|
||
Print("vector X = \n",X);
|

//--- calculate the logarithm for each value of the X vector
