## log10

log10 — Returns a base 10 log.

## Description

Returns the base 10 log of x (x positive only).

The argument value is restricted for log, log10, and sqrt.

## Syntax

    log10(x) (no rate restriction)

where the argument within the parentheses may be an expression. Value converters perform arithmetic translation from units of one kind to units of another. The result can then be a term in a further expression.

## Examples

Here is an example of the log10 opcode. It uses the files log10.orc and log10.sco.

Example 205. Example of the log10 opcode.

    /* log10.orc */
    ; Initialize the global variables.
    sr = 44100
    kr = 4410
    ksmps = 10
    nchnls = 1

    ; Instrument #1.
    instr 1
      i1 = log10(8)
      print i1
    endin
    /* log10.orc */

    /* log10.sco */
    ; Play Instrument #1 for one second.
    i 1 0 1
    e
    /* log10.sco */

Its output should include a line like this:

    instr 1:  i1 = 0.903
