Function logspace

Return numbers spaced evenly on a log scale. In linear space, the sequence starts at ``base ** start`` (`base` to the power of `start`) and ends with ``base ** stop`` (see `endpoint` below). .. versionchanged:: 1.25.0 Non-scalar 'base` is now supported Parameters

    Return numbers spaced evenly on a log scale.

    In linear space, the sequence starts at ``base ** start``
    (`base` to the power of `start`) and ends with ``base ** stop``
    (see `endpoint` below).

    .. versionchanged:: 1.25.0
        Non-scalar 'base` is now supported

    Parameters
    ----------
    start : array_like
        ``base ** start`` is the starting value of the sequence.
    stop : array_like
        ``base ** stop`` is the final value of the sequence, unless `endpoint`
        is False.  In that case, ``num + 1`` values are spaced over the
        interval in log-space, of which all but the last (a sequence of
        length `num`) are returned.
    num : integer, optional
        Number of samples to generate.  Default is 50.
    endpoint : boolean, optional
        If true, `stop` is the last sample. Otherwise, it is not included.
        Default is True.
    base : array_like, optional
        The base of the log space. The step size between the elements in
        ``ln(samples) / ln(base)`` (or ``log_base(samples)``) is uniform.
        Default is 10.0.
    dtype : dtype
        The type of the output array.  If `dtype` is not given, the data type
        is inferred from `start` and `stop`. The inferred type will never be
        an integer; `float` is chosen even if the arguments would produce an
        array of integers.
    axis : int, optional
        The axis in the result to store the samples.  Relevant only if start,
        stop, or base are array-like.  By default (0), the samples will be
        along a new axis inserted at the beginning. Use -1 to get an axis at
        the end.

    Returns
    -------
    samples : ndarray
        `num` samples, equally spaced on a log scale.

    --------
    arange : Similar to linspace, with the step size specified instead of the
             number of samples. Note that, when used with a float endpoint, the
             endpoint may or may not be included.
    linspace : Similar to logspace, but with the samples uniformly distributed
               in linear space, instead of log space.
    geomspace : Similar to logspace, but with endpoints specified directly.
