## LOG10 Base-10 Logarithm Function

Section: Mathematical Functions

### Usage

Computes the `log10` function for its argument. The general syntax for its use is

      y = log10(x)

where `x` is an `n`-dimensional array of numerical type. Integer types are promoted to the `double` type prior to calculation of the `log10` function. Output `y` is of the same size as the input `x`. For strictly positive, real inputs, the output type is the same as the input. For negative and complex arguments, the output is complex.

### Example

The following piece of code plots the real-valued `log10` function over the interval `[1,100]`:

    --> x = linspace(1,100);
    --> plot(x,log10(x))
    --> xlabel('x');
    --> ylabel('log10(x)');
