Parameters

NameDescription
x A complex number

Returns

The complex natural logarithm of x

(-0, +0) (-∞, π )
(+0, +0) (-∞, +0)
(any, +∞) (+∞, π /2)
(any, NAN) (NAN, NAN)
(-∞, any) (+∞, π )
(+∞, any) (+∞, +0)
(-∞, +∞) (+∞, 3π /4)
(+∞, +∞) (+∞, π /4)

Example

import std.math : sqrt, PI, isClose;

auto a = complex(2.0, 1.0);
writeln(log(conj(a))); // conj(log(a))

auto b = 2.0 * log10(complex(0.0, 1.0));
auto c = 4.0 * log10(complex(sqrt(2.0) / 2, sqrt(2.0) / 2));
assert(isClose(b, c, 0.0, 1e-15));

writeln(log(complex(-1.0L, 0.0L))); // complex(0.0L, PI)
writeln(log(complex(-1.0L, -0.0L))); // complex(0.0L, -PI)
