ee.Array.log

  • Computes the natural logarithm of each element in an input array.

  • Returns an array with the same dimensions as the input array, containing the calculated logarithms.

  • Usage involves calling the .log() method on an Earth Engine Array object.

 On an element-wise basis, computes the natural logarithm of the input.

UsageReturns
Array.log()Array
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: inputArrayThe input array.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

print(ee.Array([Math.pow(Math.E, -1), 1, Math.E]).log());  // [-1,0,1]

var start = 0.1;
var end = 6;
var points = ee.Array(ee.List.sequence(start, end, null, 50));
var values = points.log();

// Plot log() defined above.
var chart = ui.Chart.array.values(values, 0, points)
    .setOptions({
      viewWindow: {min: start, max: end},
      hAxis: {
        title: 'x',
