Log2
Log2[x]
gives the base-2 logarithm of x.
Details

- Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
- Log2 gives exact integer or rational number results when possible.
- For certain special arguments, Log2 automatically evaluates to exact values.
- Log2 can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
- Log2 automatically threads over lists.
