The .log()
function returns an element-wise natural logarithm of an array.
Syntax
numpy.log(array)
.log()
returns an ndarray
with each element as the natural logarithm of the corresponding element in array
.
Example
The following example creates a ndarray
and applies .log()
to it:
import numpy as npnd = np.array([[1,2.71828],[2.71828,1]])print(nd)print(np.log(nd))
This produces the following output:
[[1. 2.71828][2.71828 1. ]][[0. 0.99999933][0.99999933 0. ]]
Codebyte Example
The following codebyte creates different arrays and demonstrates applying np.log()
to each array, calculating the natural logarithm of all elements:
