Outputs the logarithm of a number by a given base.

Logarithm is a number such that Base to the power of Logarithm equates to Number.

Notes

Logarithm is used as an inverse function for the function Power.
Base defaults to e if unwired.

Examples

You can compute a number's length by plugging 10 into the base, then flooring it and adding 1.

-Logarithm is used as an inverse function for the function [[Power]]. This function is most commonly used for board game AIs. If you manage to learn how to make an AI, this function will be surely handy for you!
+* Base defaults to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant) ''e''] if unwired.

-If you're looking for examples, surely all examples for this is complex. The simplest example is that you can compute a number's length by plugging 10 into the base and flooring it, and finally by adding 1.

-Logarithm is such an advanced function to be common in simple games. But if you really want to see how it can be used, one example is Sounak9434's [*MCTS Engine*](https://play.fancade.com/5E5924F7B97E2368), a type of AI used for board games.
