Optional base (> 0 and != 1)

Float — Logarithm result.

Behavior / side effects

Return logarithm of value. Uses natural log when base is omitted.

Execution

  • Blocking: No
  • Thread safety: Use separate objects per flow
  • Parallel execution: Yes

Value operations execute in the calling flow without an intentional wait for capture, gesture completion, or user input. Create mutable containers/builders separately in each flow; this is isolation, not a shared-object synchronization guarantee.

Example

bits = log(8, 2)
text(str(bits))

Errors / limitations

No additional limitations documented; follow the parameter and behavior contract above.
