Question

This program will print out the logarithm of a number to a given base. Your program should read two numbers from standard input:
1. The first number is a positive floating point number for which your program will compute the logarithm.
2. The second number is a positive floating point number that represents the base to which the logarithm will be taken.
See page 93 in your book for a description of how to compute a logarithm to a particular base.
Your program should emit appropriate prompts and also include a description with its output. Shown below are two example runs, showing input and output.

should look like this

this is what my stupid attempt looks like;

#include <iostream> //Required for cout, endl.
#include <iomanip> //Required for setw() setprecision(), fixed.
#include <cmath> //Required for acos().

using namespace std;

const double ln(x), ln(b);

int main()
{
// Declare and initialize objects.
double x, b;
logb(x) = ln(x)/ln(b);

// Output on the screen
cout << "Enter a positive number: " << endl;
cin >> x;

//Output on the screen base
cout << "Enter a base: " << endl;
cin >> b;

//Output on the screen logb(x)
cout << x << "log of " << b << "is " << logb(x) << endl;

// Exit program
return 0;
}
