Reference material for LN function
Returns natural (base e) logarithm of a numerical expression.
The value for which ln
is computed needs to be larger than 0, otherwise an error is returned.
You can use the function LOG if you want to provide a different base.
Parameter | Description | Supported input types |
---|---|---|
<value> | The value for which to compute the natural logarithm. | DOUBLE PRECISION |
DOUBLE PRECISION
The following example computes the natural logarithm of 1.0:
The following example returns the natural logarithm close to e:
The natural logarithm can only be computed for values that are larger than 0. All the following functions return an error:
