Description

SYNOPSIS

#include <complex.h>

"double complex clog(double complex"z);

"float complex clogf(float complex "z);

"long double complex clogl(long double complex"z);

DESCRIPTION

The logarithm clog is the inverse function of the exponential cexp. Thus, if y = clog(z), then z = cexp(y). The imaginary part of y is chosen in the interval [-I*pi,I*pi].

One has clog(z) = log(cabs(z))+I*carg(z).

Please note that z close to zero will cause an overflow.
