C-Sharp Log10 Example – Code Sample Syntax

C-Sharp Log10 Example – Code Sample Syntax

Purpose: – Illustrates using .

Purpose:
takes a double data type number and returns the base 10
logarithm as a double data type.

Syntax:
Log10(doublenumber)

Parameters Description
doublenumber Any valid System.Double data type number
1. Positive – returns base 10 logarithm of the input parameter
2. Zero – returns -Negative Infinity
3. Negative – returns NaN (Not a Number)

Result Data Type Description
double returns the base 10 logarithm of the input parameter

Quick Example
Log10(100) // Returns 2

Step 1: Click cs to Cut-n-paste code into clsLog10.cs

using System;
public class clsLog10
{
 
    public void Main()
    {
 
 
        //********************************************************************************
        // Purpose: takes a double data type number and returns the base 10
        // logarithm as a double data type.
        //

        // Syntax: 	Log10(doublenumber)
        //  
        // Parameter1: doublenumber - Any valid System.Double data type number
        // 1. Positive - returns base 10 logarithm of the input parameter
        // 2. Zero - returns -Negative Infinity
        // 3. Negative - returns NaN (Not a Number)
        //
        // Result: double - returns the base 10 logarithm of the input parameter
        //
        // Quick Example: Log10(100) // Returns 2

        Console.WriteLine("Example #1: 	Log10(doublenumber)");
 
        Console.WriteLine("Log10(100) = {0}", Math.Log10(100)); // Returns 2
 
        //write blank line to make output easier to read
        Console.WriteLine();
 
        Console.WriteLine("Example #2: 	Log10(doublenumber)");
 
        Console.WriteLine("Log10(1000) = {0}", Math.Log10(1000)); // Returns 3
        //write blank line to make output easier to read
        Console.WriteLine();
 
        Console.WriteLine("Example #3: 	Log10(doublenumber)");
 
 
 
        Console.WriteLine("Log10(0) = {0}", Math.Log10(0)); // Returns -Infinity
 
        //Prevent console from closing before you press enter
        Console.ReadLine();
 
    }
 
}

Step 2: Click cs to Cut-n-paste code into Module1.cs

Module Module1
 
    Sub Main()
 
 
        Dim myclsLog10 As New clsLog10
        myclsLog10.Main()
 
 
 
    End Sub
 
End Module

Prerequistes:

  1. Install C-Sharp (Express or Standard Edition)
  2. Install SQL Server Express
  3. Download Northwind and pubs Database
  4. Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express
  5. Attach pubs Database to Databases in Sql Express

Notes:

  • Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
  • You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Module1.cs

Instructions:
C-Sharp Syntax Functions Log10

  1. Use C-Sharp 2010 Express or Standard Edition
  2. Create new project;
    • Click File/New Project
    • Select Console Application Template

  3. Add New folder named “Functions”
    • Right-click project name in solution explorer;
    • add new folder;
    • name of folder could be: Functions
  4. Add New subfolder named “MathFunctions”
    • Right-click Functions folder in solution explorer;
    • add new folder;
    • name of folder could be: MathFunctions
  5. Add Class Named clsLog10 to MathFunctions folder
    • Right-click MathFunctions folder;
    • add new item;
    • Select class
    • Class name could be clsLog10
  6. Click on cs in code in step 1 above to copy code into clsLog10.cs
