/* log2f.c * * Base 2 logarithm * * * * SYNOPSIS: * * float x, y, log2f(); * * y = log2f( x ); * * * * DESCRIPTION: * * Returns the base 2 logarithm of x. * * The argument is separated into its exponent and fractional * parts. If the exponent is between -1 and +1, the base e * logarithm of the fraction is approximated by * * log(1+x) = x - 0.5 x**2 + x**3 P(x)/Q(x). * * Otherwise, setting z = 2(x-1)/x+1), * * log(x) = z + z**3 P(z)/Q(z). * * * * ACCURACY: * * Relative error: * arithmetic domain # trials peak rms * IEEE exp(+-88) 100000 1.1e-7 2.4e-8 * IEEE 0.5, 2.0 100000 1.1e-7 3.0e-8 * * In the tests over the interval [exp(+-88)], the logarithms * of the random arguments were uniformly distributed. * * ERROR MESSAGES: * * log singularity: x = 0; returns MINLOGF/log(2) * log domain: x < 0; returns MINLOGF/log(2) */ /* Cephes Math Library Release 2.2: June, 1992 Copyright 1984, 1992 by Stephen L.
