    Mathematical library functions in Java are contained within the Math class in the java.lang package. Some key functions include pow() to calculate powers, sqrt() for square roots, abs() for absolute value, ceil() and floor() for rounding, round() for rounding to the nearest integer, max() and min() for maximum and minimum values, and random() for random number generation between 0 and 1 or within a range of values.

    Lesson 8

    Mathematical Library Functions in Java

    Mathematical library functions in java are present inside the Math class of
    java.lang package. So to use them we must import java.lang package in our
    program.

    Following are some of the functions:

    Function Syntax Description

    Name
    pow Math.pow(a,b) Returns the value of the first
    argument to the power of the second
    argument.

    The return type and the arguments


    are double.
    sqrt Math.sqrt(a) Returns the square root of the given
    argument.

    The return type and the argument


    are double.
    cbrt Math.cbrt(a) Returns the cube root of the given
    argument.

    The return type and the argument


    are double.
    abs Math.abs(a) Returns the absolute value of the
    given argument.

    The return type and the arguments


    can be double/float/int/long and
    data types of the arguments and
    return type are same.
    ceil Math.ceil(a) Returns a double value which is
    either equal or greater than the given
    value.

    The return type and the arguments


    are double.
    floor Math.floor(a) Returns a double value which is
    either equal or lesser than the given
    value.

    The return type and the arguments


    are double.
    round Math.round(a) Returns an integer rounded to the
    nearest whole number of the given
    value.

    The return type and the arguments


    are either double or float.

    If argument is double then return


    type is long and if the argument is
    float then return type is integer.
    max Math.max(a) Returns the maximum value of the
    given two arguments.

    The return type and the arguments


    can be double/float/int/long and
    data types of the arguments and
    return type are same.
    min Math.min(a) Returns the minimum value of the
    given two arguments.

    The return type and the arguments


    can be double/float/int/long and
    data types of the arguments and
    return type are same.
    Math.random( ) Returns a random double value
    which is greater than or equal to 0.0
    and less than 1.0
    (int)(Math.random( )*n) + 1 Returns a random integer value
    random which is greater than or equal to 1
    and less than or equal to n.
    (int)(Math.random( )*(U-L)) + Returns a random integer value
    L which is greater than or equal to L
    and less than U.
