View source for Log and LogE (Float functions)

These [[Intrinsic classes|intrinsic]] functions return a number that is the natural [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm logarithm]
(the logarithm base-''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_%28mathematical_constant%29 e]]'') of the method object value.

''LogE'' is a synonym for ''Log''.

Available as of version 7.3 of the [[Sirius Mods]], the Log and LogE functions are
object-oriented versions of the $Log function.
