Is log10() supported in the java script by mobi one?

I only seem to be able to use log().

Thanks,
Dave

javascript math.log() returns the natural log base ‘e’. To convert to base 10 use the following:

  Math.log(num) / Math.LN10;

You can google up more conversation on this, e.g., http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3019278/any-way-to-specify-the-base-of-math-log-in-javascript

Thanks for the input and seems to work but how do I get past the precision issues with this?

e.g.
> Math.log(10)/Math.LN10
1

> Math.log(100)/Math.LN10
2

> Math.log(1000)/Math.LN10
2.9999999999999996 // When using calculator Log10(1000) the answer = “3”

> Math.log(10000)/Math.LN10
4

Thanks,
dave

try using the javascript round() to process the result.

additionally you may want might find the toFixed() to set the decimal precision useful. See
