Java Math

The Java Math class has many methods that allows you to
perform mathematical tasks on numbers.

[Link] [Link](x,y) method can be used to find the highest


value of x and y:

Example

[Link](5, 10);

[Link] [Link](x,y) method can be used to find the lowest


value of x and y:

Example
[Link](5, 10);

3. The [Link](x) method returns the square root of x:

Example
Math. sqrt(64);

[Link] [Link](x) method returns the absolute (positive) value


of x:

Example
[Link](-4.7);
5. The [Link](x, y) method returns the value of x raised to
the power of y:

Example
Math. pow(2, 8); // 256.0

Note: [Link](2, 8) means 2 multiplied by itself 8 times:


2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 256

Note: The [Link]() method always returns a double, even if


the result is a whole number. For example, [Link](2,
8) returns 256.0 (not 256).

Rounding Methods
Java has several methods for rounding numbers:

 [Link](x) - rounds to the nearest integer

 [Link](x) - rounds up (returns the smallest integer

greater than or equal to x)

 [Link](x) - rounds down (returns the largest integer

less than or equal to x)

Example

[Link](4.6); // 5

Math. ceil(4.1); // 5.0


[Link](4.9); // 4.0

Random Numbers
[Link]() returns a random number between 0.0
(inclusive), and 1.0 (exclusive):

Example

[Link]();

To get more control over the random number, for example, if


you only want a random number between 0 and 100, you can
use the following formula:

Example

int randomNum = (int)([Link]() * 101); // 0 to 100
