# Log Node
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
Returns the logarithm of input **In**. **Log** is the inverse operation to the [Exponential Node](Exponential-Node.md).
|
|
|
|
For example, the result of a base-2 **Exponential** using an input value of 3 is 8.
|

|
|
|
|
Therefore the result of a base-2 **Log** using an input value of 8 is 3.
|
|
|
|
The logarithmic base can be switched between base-e, base-2 and base-10 from the **Base** dropdown on the node.

## Generated Code Example
|
|
|
|
The following example code represents one possible outcome of this node per **Base** mode.
|
|
|
|
**Base E**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
void Unity_Log_float4(float4 In, out float4 Out)
|
|
{
|
|
Out = log(In);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Base 2**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
void Unity_Log2_float4(float4 In, out float4 Out)
|
|
{
|
|
Out = log2(In);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Base 10**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
void Unity_Log10_float4(float4 In, out float4 Out)
|
|
{
|
|
Out = log10(In);
|
|
}
|
|
```
