nlcpy.log10

nlcpy.log10 = <ufunc 'nlcpy_log10'>

Computes the element-wise base-10 logarithm of x.

Parameters

xarray_like: Input an array or a scalar.
outndarray or None, optional: A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.
wherearray_like, optional: This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is True, the out array will be set to the ufunc result. Elsewhere, the out array will retain its original value. Note that if an uninitialized out array is created via the default out=None, locations within it where the condition is False will remain uninitialized.
**kwargs: For other keyword-only arguments, see the section Optional Keyword Arguments.

Returns

yndarray: A ndarray, containing the base-10 logarithm of x. NaNs are returned where x is negative. If x is a scalar, this function returns the result as a 0-dimension ndarray.

Note

Logarithm is a multivalued function: for each x there is an infinite number of z such that 10**z = x. The convention is to return the z whose imaginary part lies in [-pi, pi].
For real-valued input data types, log10() always returns real output. For each value that cannot be expressed as a real number or infinity, it yields nan and sets the invalid floating point error flag.
