JavaScript | Math.log10() function

The Math.log10() is an inbuilt function in JavaScript which give the value of base 10 logarithms of any number.
Syntax:

Math.log10(p)

Parameters:This function accepts a single parameter p which is any number whose base 10 logarithms is to be calculated.

Returns: It returns the value of base 10 logarithms of any number.

Examples:

Input : Math.log10(5)
Output: 0.6989700043360189

Explanation:
Here value of base 10 logarithms of number 5 is 0.6989700043360189 as shown output.

Input : Math.log10(10)
Output:1

  play_arrow

  link
  brightness_4
  code

  <script>   // Parameters for this function should always be a   // number otherwise it return NaN i.e, not a number   // when its parameter taken as string.   document.write(Math.log10("gfg")); <script>

  chevron_right

  filter_none

  Output:

  NaN
  

• Example 2: This function gives error when its parameter taken as complex number because it accept only integer value as the parameter.
  filter_none

  edit
  close

  play_arrow

  link
  brightness_4
  code

  <script>   // Parametes can never be a complex number because   // it accept only integer value as the parameter.   document.write(Math.log10(1 + 2i));

  chevron_right

  filter_none

  Output:

  Error: Invalid or unexpected token
  

Application: Whenever we need the value of base 10 logarithms of any number that time we take the help of this function.Its value needed many times in mathematics problem.
Let’s see JavaScript code for this application:

• Example 1:
  filter_none

  edit
  close

  play_arrow

  link
  brightness_4
  code

  <script>   // taking parameter as number 14 and    //calculated in the form of function.   function value_of_base_10_logarithms_of_any_number()   {       return Math.log10(14);   }   document.write(value_of_base_10_logarithms_of_any_number()); </script>

  chevron_right

  filter_none

  Output:
