Two-argument form  See also one-argument form Natural Logarithm

Computes the log of a number or numbers to an arbitrary base. The left-hand argument is the base and the right-hand argument is the number whose log is to be found.

             3 ⍟ 9                   (The log of 9 to the base 3)
       2
             2 3 4 5 6⍟4 9 16 25 36  (The log of each number on the right to
       2 2 2 2 2                      the corresponding base on the left)

                                      arguments used as successive arguments to
                                      the ⍟ function)
