Hope someone can help me:
I need to use Log10() for some formulas in my program. How do I do Log10() in VB6?

Please write the code out if you could.

Thanks a lot

Hi


Try this

Private Sub Command1_Click()     Dim a As Double     Dim b As Double          b = 5          a = Log(b) / 2.30258509299405          MsgBox a End Sub

Just to clarify:

2.30258509299405=ln10

Log function in VB is actually natural logarithm (Ln), which has e as base. e constant is approximately 2.718282.

When I write

loga(b)

a represents logarithm base

Some math formulas:

loga(b)=log(b)/log(a)

Since you are having 10 as base, a will have value 10.

log10(b)=log(b)/log(10)

and as I mentioned earlier

log10=2.30258509299405

then we come to Steve's

a = Log(b) / 2.30258509299405
