log1p - Compute `log(1+x)` accurately for small values of `x`

Syntax

y = log1p(x)

Description

y = log1p(x) computes log(1+x), compensating for the roundoff in 1+x. log1p(x) is more accurate than log(1+x) for small values of x. For small x, log1p(x) is approximately x, whereas log(1+x) can be zero.
