array_like or scalar The value(s) whose log base 10 is (are) required. Returns ------- out : ndarray or scalar The log base 10 of the `x` value(s). If `x` was a scalar, so is `out`, otherwise an array object is returned. See Also -------- numpy.log10 Notes ----- For a log10() that returns ``NAN`` when real `x < 0`, use `numpy.log10` (note, however, that otherwise `numpy.log10` and this `log10` are identical, i.e., both return ``-inf`` for `x = 0`, ``inf`` for `x = inf`, and, notably, the complex principle value if ``x.imag != 0``). Examples -------- >>> import numpy as np (We set the printing precision so the example can be auto-tested) >>> np.set_printoptions(precision=4) >>> np.emath.log10(10**1) 1.0 >>> np.emath.log10([-10**1, -10**2, 10**2]) array([1.+1.3644j, 2.+1.3644j, 2.+0.j ]) )
