logB(xref:BloombergLP/bdldfp/DecimalImpUtil/ValueType32.adoc[ValueType32] x);

== Description

Return the FLT_RADIX‐based logarithm (i.e., base 10) of the absolute value of the specified `x`.

Special value handling: * If `x` is +/‐0, ‐infinity is returned and the value of the macro `ERANGE` is stored into `errno`. * If `x` is 1, +0 is returned. * If `x` is +/‐infinity, +infinity is returned. * If `x` is quiet NaN, quiet NaN is returned. * If `x` is signaling NaN, quiet NaN is returned and the value of the macro `EDOM` is stored into `errno`.

Examples: `logB( 10.0)` ==> 1.0; `logB(‐100.0)` ==> 2.0

== Return Value

the radix‐based logarithm of the absolute value of `x`
