===== LOG  =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     = LOG(number)

==== PURPOSE ====


The ''LOG'' instruction calculate the natural logarithm of the given ''number'',
that must be ''FLOAT''. This is a mathematical function that is the inverse 
of the natural exponential 
(with base e). In other words, the natural logarithm of a number ''x'' is the 
exponent to which Napier's number (e = 2.71828) must be raised to obtain ''x''.

This function can be used to solve differential equations, calculate integrals 
and approximate functions, for normalizing data and it is used in many physical 
and biological models.



==== EXAMPLE ====
    x = LOG(21)


==== ABBREVIATION ====
   Lg
