find the base 10 logarithm of a number in python

To find the base 10 logarithm of a number in Python, we can make use of the log10() function that is available in the built-in math module. Here's an example:

main.py
import math

num = 100
logarithm = math.log10(num)

print(logarithm)    # Output: 2.0
86 chars
7 lines

In the example above, we import the math module and then assign the number 100 to the variable num. We then use the log10() function to find the base 10 logarithm of num. The result is stored in the variable logarithm and is displayed using the print() function.

We can apply the log10() function to any positive number to find its base 10 logarithm. It is also possible to use the log() function to find logarithms to any other base. To do so, we need to provide the desired base as the second argument to the log() function.
