Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for calculating large precision common logarithms. A common logarithm may be calculated using addition and/or subtraction of known logarithm values. Embodiments of the invention permit calculation of common logarithms of real numbers stored within character arrays, where each element of the array corresponds to a digit in the real number.
