#include <math.h>
double log2(double x);
#include <math.h>
double log2(double x);
float log2f(float x);
long double log2l(long double x);Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
This function calculates the base-2 logarithm of x.
These functions return the base 2 logarithm of x.
This function returns, as a double, the base-2 logarithm of x.
On success, these functions return the base 2 logarithm of x.
For special cases, including where x is 0, 1, negative, infinity, or NaN, see log(3).
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
printf("This is CS%i\n", (int) log2(1125899906842624));
}
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.
For a discussion of the errors that can occur for these functions, see log(3).
These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
