std::log(std::valarray)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | numeric‎ | valarray
 
 
 
 
Defined in header <valarray>
template< class T >
valarray<T> log( const valarray<T>& va );

For each element in va computes natural logarithm of the value of the element.

Parameters

va - value array to apply the operation to

Return value

Value array containing natural logarithms of the values in va.

Notes

Unqualified function (log) is used to perform the computation. If such function is not available, std::log is used due to argument-dependent lookup.

The function can be implemented with the return type different from std::valarray. In this case, the replacement type has the following properties:

Possible implementation

template< class T >
valarray<T> log( const valarray<T>& va )
{
    valarray<T> other = va;
    for (T &i : other)
        i = log(i);
 
    return other; // proxy object may be returned
}

Example

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <valarray>
 
void show(char const* title, const std::valarray<double>& va)
{
    std::cout << title << " :" << std::right << std::fixed;
    for (double x : va) {
        std::cout << std::setw(10) << x;
    }
    std::cout << '\n';
}
 
int main()
{
    const std::valarray<double> n { 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 };
    const std::valarray<double> exp_n { std::exp(n) };
    const std::valarray<double> log_exp_n { std::log(exp_n) };
 
    show("n      ", n);
    show("eⁿ     ", exp_n);
    show("log(eⁿ)", log_exp_n);
}

Output:

n       :  0.000000  1.000000  2.000000  3.000000
eⁿ      :  1.000000  2.718282  7.389056 20.085537
log(eⁿ) :  0.000000  1.000000  2.000000  3.000000
