Logₙ
Math
The Log N node takes in the number we want to get to (labeled N) and the base number (The number you're multiplying).
Inputs
N (float)
The number we are searching for using the base.
Base (float)
The number being chain multiplied.
Outputs
* (float)
Returns the exponent result.
Examples
For example, if you take the base 2 and multiply it three times, you get: 2 × 2 × 2 = 8
In this case, 2 is the base, 3 is the exponent, and 8 is the result.
The answer is 3, because: 2³ = 8
We write this as: log₂(8) = 3
So, the logarithm (log) of 8 with base 2 is 3.
