Antilogarithm Base $10$: Symbol

The symbol used to denote the antilogarithm of $y$ to base $10$ is $\map {\operatorname {alog} } y$.

That is, $\operatorname {alog} y$ generally means the same as $\operatorname {alog}_{10} y$.

However, in the context of antilogarithms to base $10$, some sources prefer the notation $10^y$ over $\operatorname {alog} y$.
