Are you talking about log(x)?
My suggestion:
help log
help log10

Hi, not the log(x) function
Its log with (base) e and not with (base) 10
LOGe(10)

In MATLAB log(x) means LOGe(x),that is ln(x);and log10(x)
means lg(x).

Hi its possible to input ln(x) into matlab and run? Have
tried but matlab would give an undefinded
command/function 'ln' when i run the code lets say y = ln(3)

rather than repeating your question over and over, you
should carefully read what others have told you...

Yes, all you have to do is start your session by
typing at the command line,

ln = @log;

After that, ln(x) will work at the command line
for that session. To get it to work within a program,
create a file named ln.m that contains

function thelog = ln(x)
thelog = log(x)



Sorry for the confusion; we thought you were asking
what Matlab's logarithm base e function is named (it is
named 'log'), when all along you were asking how to get the
specific name 'ln' to return logarithm base e.
