Q about logs

[i_am_cuul]

Just learned (formally) about them in precal the other day and i was just wondering, what would this be used for in wc3? Ive seen something about natural log approx on the forums but why would you need it?

well I think its used for some calculations for values needed in some codes/scripts.....

[Damage]

Logarithms can invert the action of an exponential, so if ever you need to go back from an exponent to the original number, you'll need a log.
Eg.
3^x = 10
Then to find x, you'd use logs.
Giving:
x = [log 10]/[log 3] (For any log base)

Can't say I know exactly when you'd need this, but that's the general principle of their use.

well you can use them for calculating damage for a custom system...

I don't use them but I'm pretty sure that I saw some posts around here about scripts that have those log functions.
