But I must confess that we had ln() in university courses and by default log used base 10. Now I use ln and a base for the log as a subscript like log_10, log_2, etc.
- bmacho 4y agoSrsly? Well, then according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck the + symbol denotes cell increment and not addition. > But I must confess that we had ln() in university courses Same. I often wonder why would anyone denote the natural logarithm with log(), when ln is shorter, and easier to read (at least for the people that were thought to use it), also it is already somewhat established.
- lkuty 4y agoHaha the Brainfuck analogy was funny. Note that in programming languages it looks like Log denotes Ln. Anyway, Log_b(x) = Log_a(x) / Lob_a(b), so we're covered.
