c = log2(a)
[f, e] = log2(a)
c = log2(e) computes the base 2 logarithm of the input elements. The base 2 logarithm of zero is -inf. [f, e] = log2(a) splits the input elements into binary mantissa f and exponent e so that the absolute value of f is equal to or greater than 0.5 and less than 1, and e is an integer. If a = 0, f = e = 0.
|a||Specifies a numeric scalar, vector, or matrix.|
|c||Returns the base 2 logarithm of the elements in a. c returns complex numbers for negative or complex elements in a. c is a scalar, vector, or matrix of the same size as a.|
|f||Returns the binary mantissa of the elements in a. f is a scalar, vector, or matrix of the same size as a.|
|e||Returns the binary exponent of the elements in a. e is a scalar, vector, or matrix of the same size as a.|
For the following support characteristics table, only c = log2(a) is suitable for bounded execution times in Real-Time applications. [f, e] = log2(a) is not characterized.
The following table lists the support characteristics of this function.
