Log[Exp[(5*I*\[Pi])/3]] - (I*5 \[Pi])/3]
It get the answer -2?i. However, it must be zero. And it also cause the incorrect answer for Residue
Residue[Log[z]/(1 + z^3), {z, E^((I*5 \[Pi])/3)}]
How do I modify my input?

“Log[Exp]” does not always equal “a” even though Log and Exp are supposed to be inverse functions. This is because of complex branch cuts. In fact, “Log[Exp]” can be off from “a” by a constant factor, in this case a multiple of “2 Pi I”.
