Syntax

IMLOG2(inumber)

Inumber   is a complex number for which you want the base-2 logarithm.

Remarks

• Use COMPLEX to convert real and imaginary coefficients into a complex number.
• If inumber is not in the form x + yi or x + yj, IMLOG2 returns the #NUM! error value.
• The base-2 logarithm of a complex number can be calculated from the natural logarithm as follows:

  

Example
