Arithmetic Functions
Arithmetic functions contains basic mathematical functions like power and logarithmic functions.
They're used often in common mathematical calculations.
Overview
You can use the following built-in arithmetic functions.| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Abs(x) | Absolute value of x, removes the sign of x |
| x^2 | Square of x |
| Sign(x) | The sign of x. Returns 1 if x>0, 0 if x=0 and -1 if x<0 |
| Sqrt(x) | Square root of x |
| Exp(x) e^(x) |
Exponential value of x |
| Ln(x) Log(x) |
Natural logarithm of x, Solves y for ey=x |
| Log(x, base) |
Custom based logarithm of x, Logbase(x), Solves y for basey=x |
| Log10(x) | 10-Based logarithm of x, Solves y for 10y=x |
