Go Log2()

The Log2() function in the Go programming language calculates the base-2 logarithm of a given number. It returns the logarithm value as a floating-point number. The math package must be imported to use this function.

Syntax

result := Log2(x)

Log2() accepts an argument of type float64 and returns a value of type float64.

Note these special cases:

• If x is negative or NaN, the function will return NaN (not-a-number).
• If x is zero, the function will return -Inf.
• If x is +Inf, the function will return +Inf.

Example

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "math"
)

func main() {
  x := 8.0
  result := math.Log2(x)
  fmt.Printf("Log2(%f) = %f\n", x, result)
}
