# MathLog1p
Returns the value of the expression MathLog(1+x).
```
double  MathLog1p(
   double  value      // value to take the logarithm
   );
```
Parameters
value
[in]  The value, the logarithm of which is to be calculated.
Return Value
The natural logarithm of the value (value + 1) if successful. If value is < -1, the function returns NaN (undefined value). If value is equal to -1, the function returns INF (infinity).
Note
At values of x close to 0, the MathLog1p(x) function generates much more accurate values than the MathLog(1+x) function.
Instead of the MathLog1p() function you can use the log1p() function.
Example:
```
