39 1.1 ragge /* LOG10(X)
40 1.1 ragge * RETURN THE BASE 10 LOGARITHM OF x
41 1.1 ragge * DOUBLE PRECISION (VAX D format 56 bits, IEEE DOUBLE 53 BITS)
42 1.1 ragge * CODED IN C BY K.C. NG, 1/20/85;
43 1.1 ragge * REVISED BY K.C. NG on 1/23/85, 3/7/85, 4/16/85.
44 1.1 ragge *
45 1.1 ragge * Required kernel function:
46 1.1 ragge * log(x)
47 1.1 ragge *
48 1.1 ragge * Method :
49 1.1 ragge * log(x)
50 1.1 ragge * log10(x) = --------- or [1/log(10)]*log(x)
51 1.1 ragge * log(10)
52 1.1 ragge *
53 1.1 ragge * Note:
54 1.1 ragge * [log(10)] rounded to 56 bits has error .0895 ulps,
55 1.1 ragge * [1/log(10)] rounded to 53 bits has error .198 ulps;
56 1.1 ragge * therefore, for better accuracy, in VAX D format, we divide
57 1.1 ragge * log(x) by log(10), but in IEEE Double format, we multiply
58 1.1 ragge * log(x) by [1/log(10)].
59 1.1 ragge *
60 1.1 ragge * Special cases:
61 1.1 ragge * log10(x) is NaN with signal if x < 0;
62 1.1 ragge * log10(+INF) is +INF with no signal; log10(0) is -INF with signal;
63 1.1 ragge * log10(NaN) is that NaN with no signal.
64 1.1 ragge *
65 1.1 ragge * Accuracy:
66 1.1 ragge * log10(X) returns the exact log10(x) nearly rounded. In a test run
67 1.1 ragge * with 1,536,000 random arguments on a VAX, the maximum observed
68 1.1 ragge * error was 1.74 ulps (units in the last place).
69 1.1 ragge *
70 1.1 ragge * Constants:
71 1.1 ragge * The hexadecimal values are the intended ones for the following constants.
72 1.1 ragge * The decimal values may be used, provided that the compiler will convert
73 1.1 ragge * from decimal to binary accurately enough to produce the hexadecimal values
74 1.1 ragge * shown.
