<a name="index-log1p"></a>

<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">#include &lt;math.h&gt;
double log1p(double <var>x</var>);
float log1pf(float <var>x</var>);
</pre></div>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
<code>log1p</code> calculates
the natural logarithm of <code>1+<var>x</var></code>. You can use <code>log1p</code> rather
than &lsquo;<code>log(1+<var>x</var>)</code>&rsquo; for greater precision when <var>x</var> is very
small.
</p>
<p><code>log1pf</code> calculates the same thing, but accepts and returns
<code>float</code> values rather than <code>double</code>.
</p>
<br>
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
<code>log1p</code> returns a <code>double</code>, the natural log of <code>1+<var>x</var></code>.
<code>log1pf</code> returns a <code>float</code>, the natural log of <code>1+<var>x</var></code>.
</p>
<br>
<p><strong>Portability</strong><br>
Neither <code>log1p</code> nor <code>log1pf</code> is required by ANSI C or by the System V
Interface Definition (Issue 2).
