What I was trying to say is that log(x) == log10(x) in excel, but it also allows two parameters to log, e.g. log(8, 2), which would give you log2(8) [which is three]. So if you give only one parameter, you get log10, if you give two parameters, log(x, y) you get logy(x).

Does that make more sense?

Interesting this

The Log base 10....

In C/C++: log10(x)... Excel: LOG10(x) == LOG(x) == LOG(x, 10),... Sci Calc: log

Log base e....

In C/C++: log(x) ... Excel: LN(x)... Sci Calc: ln

Can be confusing if using all to test a function...
