Example 1: finding the log of an integer.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
document.write(Math.log2(3) + "<br>");
document.write(Math.log2(87) + "<br>");
document.write(Math.log2(102) + "<br>");
document.write(Math.log2(512));
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
Example 2: finding log of a string.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
