weird log output?

Projects Programming

I got an unexpected output by passing an int into the log function.

void setup() {
 Serial.begin(9600);
 while(!Serial){}
   int a = 12345678;
 float b = 12345678;
 Serial.println(log(a)); //?
 Serial.println(log(b));
 Serial.println(log(12345678));
}

void loop() {
  

}

OUTPUT:
10.12
16.33
16.33

Any idea why it is giving me 10.12 as the output?

12345678 does not fit into an int data type.

Oh, ok that explains it, thanks.
