Defined in header <cmath>
float       log2( float arg );		(since C++11)
double      log2( double arg );		(since C++11)
long double log2( long double arg );		(since C++11)
double      log2( Integral arg );		(since C++11)

Computes the base 2 logarithm of arg.

Parameters

arg

-

floating point value

Return value

log
2(arg)

Domain error occurs if arg is negative. NAN is returned in that case.

Range error occurs if arg is ​0​. -HUGE_VAL is returned in that case.
