Python math.log1p() – Natural Logarithm of (1 + x)

Python math.log1p()

math.log1p(x) function returns the natural logarithm of (x + 1).

Syntax

The syntax to call log1p() function is

math.log1p(x)

where

If x is an invalid value, such as -5 (less than -1), then log1p() raises ValueError.

Example

In the following program, we find the natural logarithm of (5 + 1), using log1p() function of math module.

import math

x = 5
result = math.log1p(x)
print('log1p(x) :', result)

Output

log1p(x) : 1.791759469228055
