[computer-go] log base e vs. log base 10

2008-12-01 Thread Mark Boon
Just now I realized that I'm using the standard Java Math.log() function in places where it computes the log(visits). In Java, this log() function is actually the logarithm of base e, which I suppose is normally actually written as ln(). When I read articles about UCT and it says log(),

When unspecified always assume the natural logarithm. For UCT this does not really matter; only a different tuning constant. log10(x) == ln(x) / ln(10) Erik On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 3:22 PM, Mark Boon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just now I realized that I'm using the standard Java Math.log()
