Question

I am bit confuse with R log function:
log(10) = 1 in base 10
but when I type this in R log(10) = 2.302585
So my question is how do I implicitly tell the base in R log function.

Answer 1

Arguments

x a numeric or complex vector. base a positive or complex number:
the base with respect to which logarithms are computed. Defaults to
e=exp(1).

So you call function log with the second parameter 10 (base that you want).

For example:

> log(10,10)
[1] 1
