math.Logb()

The Logb() function is an inbuilt function of the math package which is used to get the binary exponent of the given number.

It accepts a parameter (x) and returns the binary exponent of x.

Syntax:

func Logb(x float64) float64

Parameter(s):

• x : The value whose binary exponent is to be found.

Return Value:

The return type of Logb() function is a float64, it returns the binary exponent of the given value.

Special cases:

• Logb(±Inf) = +Inf
  If the parameter is either positive infinity or negative infinity (±Inf), the function return the positive infinity (+Inf).
• Logb(0) = -Inf
  If the parameter is 0, the function returns the negative infinity (-Inf).
• Logb(NaN) = NaN
  If the parameter is NaN, the function returns the same (NaN).

Example 1:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.Logb() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(math.Logb(1))
	fmt.Println(math.Logb(2))
	fmt.Println(math.Logb(10))
	fmt.Println(math.Logb(10.23))

	fmt.Println(math.Logb(0))
	fmt.Println(math.Logb(-1))
	fmt.Println(math.Logb(math.NaN()))
	fmt.Println(math.Logb(math.Inf(1)))
}

Output:

0
1
3
3
-Inf
0
NaN
+Inf

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.Logb() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	var x float64
	var LogbX float64

	x = 1
	LogbX = math.Logb(x)
	fmt.Println("Logb(", x, ") =", LogbX)

	x = 2
	LogbX = math.Logb(x)
	fmt.Println("Logb(", x, ") =", LogbX)

	x = 10
	LogbX = math.Logb(x)
	fmt.Println("Logb(", x, ") =", LogbX)

	x = 10.58
	LogbX = math.Logb(x)
	fmt.Println("Logb(", x, ") =", LogbX)

	x = math.Inf(1)
	LogbX = math.Logb(x)
	fmt.Println("Logb(", x, ") =", LogbX)

	x = math.NaN()
	LogbX = math.Logb(x)
	fmt.Println("Logb(", x, ") =", LogbX)
}

Output:

Logb( 1 ) = 0
Logb( 2 ) = 1
Logb( 10 ) = 3
Logb( 10.58 ) = 3
Logb( +Inf ) = +Inf
Logb( NaN ) = NaN
