.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The logarithm
|
|
.BR clog ()
|
|
is the inverse function of the exponential
|
|
.BR cexp (3).
|
|
Thus, if \fIy\ =\ clog(z)\fP, then \fIz\ =\ cexp(y)\fP.
|
|
The imaginary part of
|
|
.I y
|
|
is chosen in the interval [\-pi,pi].
|
|
.LP
|
|
One has:
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
clog(z) = log(cabs(z)) + I * carg(z)
|
|
.fi
|
|
.LP
|
|
Note that
|
|
.I z
|
|
close to zero will cause an overflow.
