log	Compute the logarithm of the number with respect to an arbitrary base.	manual

Compute the logarithm of the number with respect to an arbitrary base.

The result might not be correctly rounded owing to implementation details; log2() can produce more accurate results for base 2, and log10() can produce more accurate results for base 10.

  input: number,
  base: number,
): number

Examples

exampleSketch = startSketchOn(XZ)
  |> startProfile(at = [0, 0])
  |> line(end = [log(100, base = 5), 0])
  |> line(end = [5, 8])
  |> line(end = [-10, 0])
  |> close()

example = extrude(exampleSketch, length = 5)
