Log
Calculates the natural logarithm of a number
Log expects the argument (Num) to be a valid numeric value. The argument value must be greater than zero.
The natural logarithm is the logarithm to the base e. You can calculate the base-n logarithms for any number X by dividing the natural logarithm of X by the natural logarithm of n as follows:
Logn (X ) = Log(X ) / Log(n )
Note: The value of the constant e is approximately 2.71828.
