VB.NET Log10 Example – Code Sample Syntax
Purpose: – Illustrates using VB.NET Log10 Code Example.
Purpose:
takes a double data type number and returns the base 10
logarithm as a double data type.
Syntax:
Log10(doublenumber)
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 |
