Description

What is the purpose of this pull request?

This pull request:

• Adds the @stdlib/constants/float16/log2-e package, which provides the half-precision (float16) approximation of the base 2 logarithm of Euler's number (log₂(e) ≈ 1.4424).
• Includes complete implementation with documentation, unit tests, examples, TypeScript declarations, and REPL help text.
• Follows all stdlib package conventions and style guidelines.

Related Issues

Does this pull request have any related issues?

This pull request addresses the need for additional float16 mathematical constants in stdlib, complementing the existing float64 log2-e constant.

Questions

Any questions for reviewers of this pull request?

No.

Other

Any other information relevant to this pull request? This may include screenshots, references, and/or implementation notes.

Implementation Notes:

• The float16 value 1.4424 was calculated as the half-precision representation of log₂(e) ≈ 1.4426950408889634
• All tests pass with 100% coverage
• Package structure mirrors existing float16 constants (e.g., @stdlib/constants/float16/e)

Test Results:

TAP version 13

main export is a number
ok 1 main export is a number

export is a half-precision floating-point number equal to 1.4424
ok 2 returns expected value

tests 3
pass 3
ok

Hey @opbot-xd , this PR is aldready open by me #8991 .

[opbot-xd]

Hey @DivyanshuVortex can you provide me the issue, I need to see what constants are left.

[DivyanshuVortex]

@opbot-xd — I’m also loking for missing packages, but there are currrently many open PRs adding similar ones. Because of that, I can’t say for sure whether the package you added is already covered in earlier PRs. Im waiting for maintainers to review & merge or close those PRs which make more clearer for finding the missing packages .
