Log base 10 possible?

[Martin Vigesaa]

I'm making an app that needs to calculate the log(base 10) of a number.  Is this possible?  It appears the "Log" function in the app only does the natural log.

Is there any work around for the lack of Log10?

[Martin Vigesaa]

I found a workaround that is probably obvious to math people.  Using the natural log 'ln' of x divided by the natural log of 10, the result is the log(base 10) of x.  So ln x / ln 10 = log(base 10) x.

Thanks for posting the solution here...someone else may be able to learn something from it.  Think you might be able to post a screenshot of your blocks to see how you got it working?
