log2

log2 — Returns a base 2 log.

Description

Returns the base 2 log of x (x positive only).

The argument value is restricted for log, log2, and sqrt.

Syntax

log2(x) (no rate restriction)

where the argument within the parentheses may be an expression. Value converters perform arithmetic translation from units of one kind to units of another. The result can then be a term in a further expression.

Examples

Here is an example of the log2 opcode. It uses the file log2.csd.

Example 432. Example of the log2 opcode.

See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.

; Initialize the global variables.
sr = 44100
kr = 4410
ksmps = 10
nchnls = 1

; Instrument #1.
instr 1
  i1 = log2(8)
  print i1
endin


</CsInstruments>
<CsScore>

; Play Instrument #1 for one second.
i 1 0 1

</CsScore>
</CsoundSynthesizer>


Its output should include a line like this: 

instr 1:  i1 = 3.000
