Maths (Arithmetic): logL

       Name: logL                                                    [Show more]
       Type: Variable
   Category: Maths (Arithmetic)
    Summary: Binary logarithm table (low byte)
    Context: See this variable in context in the source code
 Variations: See code variations for this variable in the different versions
 References: This variable is used as follows:
             * LOIN (Part 2 of 7) uses logL
             * LOIN (Part 5 of 7) uses logL


 At byte n, the table contains the high byte of:

   &2000 * log10(n) / log10(2) = 32 * 256 * log10(n) / log10(2)

 where log10 is the logarithm to base 10. The change-of-base formula says that:

   log2(n) = log10(n) / log10(2)

 so byte n contains the low byte of:

   32 * log2(n) * 256
