"Singularity error" isn't mentioned in the C++ standard. I'd guess
that you've hit the mathematical singularity of the log function
by asking for the log of zero.

I got a problem with the log function in the math.h that displays a sing
error:>singularity error.

how is the singularity error trigger?

This newsgroup is for discussing standardization issue, not
implementation-specific programming questions.

There is a singularity of the log() function at log(0.0) - is that what
you're doing? And of course, for real-valued log functions, you can't
take the log(x) for x<0.0 either.
