LOG

The LOG(a) function returns the natural logarithm an expression a. If e^x=a then LOG(a)=x. The LOG function is defined only for positive values of a (that is, a > 0). It is undefined for all other values.

Format

LOG(a)

Arguments

a	Any valid function expression that returns a positive value during a simulation. Number of Arguments: 1
