Searching for antilog function

What's wrong with log2()?

 

log2(16)
   

[1] 4

Isn't that exactly what you asked for?

Dear R-users,

I have a basic question about how to determine the antilog of 
a variable.

Say I have some number, x, which is a factor of 2 such that x 
= 2^y. I 
want to figure out what y is, i.e. I am looking for the 
antilog base 2 of x.

I have found log2 in the Reference Manual. But I am struggling how to 
get the antilog of that.

Any help will be appreciated!
