Hello,

     I need to calculate the Log (base j) of a number where j is not e but have no idea how to do this. I will appreciate if anyone could please assist.

Hello hyphyinfant,

Please take a look at wikipedia's list of logarithmic identities, specifically, "changing the base".

In hyphy, you can test this by issuing the statement:
fprintf(stdout, Log(100)/Log(10));

Thanks,
Steven
