pub fn primitive_float_ln<T>(x: T) -> Twhere
Float: From<T> + PartialOrd<T>,
for<'a> T: ExactFrom<&'a Float> + RoundingFrom<&'a Float> + PrimitiveFloat,Expand description
Computes the natural logarithm of a primitive float. Using this function is more accurate than
using the default log function or the one provided by libm.
The reciprocal logarithm of any nonzero negative number is NaN.
$$ f(x) = \ln x+\varepsilon. $$
- If $\ln x$ is infinite, zero, or
NaN, $\varepsilon$ may be ignored or assumed to be 0. - If $\ln x$ is finite and nonzero, then $|\varepsilon| < 2^{\lfloor\log_2 \ln x\rfloor-p}$,
where $p$ is precision of the output (typically 24 if
Tis af32and 53 ifTis af64, but less if the output is subnormal).
Special cases:
- $f(\text{NaN})=\text{NaN}$
- $f(\infty)=\infty$
- $f(-\infty)=\text{NaN}$
- $f(\pm0.0)=-\infty$
Neither overflow nor underflow is possible.
§Worst-case complexity
Constant time and additional memory.
