Logarithmic function

[Aditya_Deshpande]

The log function is not giving correct answer, It so happens that log41 is 3.7135. How can it be possible?

I have no math background but it looks good to me. What would you expect or what have you tried?

log function is not giving correct answer

what about doing a search in the community?

The 'log' in app inventor is actually ln()

I am making a game that requires showing huge numbers. So instead of 128123000000000000000000000000000000000 it will be shown as 128.123 undecillion. To do that, I need to use a base 10 log function, but the ‘log’ in the app inventor is actually ln(). Is it a bug or is it supposed to be like that, a base-e log instead of a normal base-10 log?

There doesn't seem to be a problem with the answer @Peter gave and (@Aditya_Deshpande) you have. What exactly is the problem? What did you expect

@Taifun Yes, I have noticed that the log isn't a normal based 10 log. What's up with that, btw?
