log(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj])

Some inconsistencies with the Dask version may exist.

Natural logarithm, element-wise.

The natural logarithm log is the inverse of the exponential function, so that :None:None:`log(exp(x)) = x`. The natural logarithm is logarithm in base e.

Notes

Logarithm is a multivalued function: for each x there is an infinite number of :None:None:`z` such that :None:None:`exp(z) = x`. The convention is to return the :None:None:`z` whose imaginary part lies in :None:None:`[-pi, pi]`.

For real-valued input data types, log always returns real output. For each value that cannot be expressed as a real number or infinity, it yields nan and sets the :None:None:`invalid` floating point error flag.

For complex-valued input, log is a complex analytical function that has a branch cut :None:None:`[-inf, 0]` and is continuous from above on it. log handles the floating-point negative zero as an infinitesimal negative number, conforming to the C99 standard.

Parameters

x : array_like: Input value.
out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and 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.
where : array_like, optional: This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is True, the :None:None:`out` array will be set to the ufunc result. Elsewhere, the :None:None:`out` array will retain its original value. Note that if an uninitialized :None:None:`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 ufunc docs <ufuncs.kwargs> .

Returns

y : ndarray: The natural logarithm of x, element-wise. This is a scalar if x is a scalar.

Examples

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution

>>> np.log([1, np.e, np.e**2, 0])  # doctest: +SKIP
array([  0.,   1.,   2., -Inf])

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
