Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

$ln

New from version 4.0.

The $ln operator in Amazon DocumentDB calculates the natural logarithm (base e) of a specified number. It returns the logarithm of the number to the base e.

Parameters

  • expression: The number for which the natural logarithm will be calculated.

Example (MongoDB Shell)

The following example demonstrates the usage of the $log operator to calculate the natural logarithm of a number.

Create sample documents

db.numbers.insertMany([ { _id: 1, value: 10 }, { _id: 2, value: 100 }, { _id: 3, value: 1000 } ]);

Query example

db.numbers.aggregate([ { $project: { _id: 1, naturalLog: { $ln: "$value" } }} ]);

Output

[ { "_id" : 1, "naturalLog" : 2.302585092994046 }, { "_id" : 2, "naturalLog" : 4.605170185988092 }, { "_id" : 3, "naturalLog" : 6.907755278982137 } ]
