Package
• A package is a collection of classes. Every
Java package has a name and it can be
included within the program by using the
keyword import. These are used to perform
various tasks. [Link] is a method to
perform the calculations on String and
mathematical variables.
Mathematical Functions
Function Name Purpose Return data type Example
[Link](a) Returns the square double [Link](64) = 8.0
root of a positive
number.
[Link](a,b) Returns the smaller Depends upon the [Link](34,89) =
number between a input value 34
& b. [Link](-34,-89)
= -89
[Link](0.34,0.8
9) = 0.34
[Link](a,b) Returns the greater Depends upon the [Link](34,89) =
number between a input value 89
& b. [Link](-34,-89)
= -34
[Link](0.34,0.8
9) = 0.89
[Link](a,b) Returns the value a double [Link](5,3) =
b 125.0
[Link](a) Returns the value double
of natural
logarithm.
Mathematical Functions
Function Name Purpose Return data type Example
[Link](a) Returns the Depends upon the [Link](3.77) =
absolute value of input value 3.77
any numeral. [Link](-3.77) =
3.77
[Link](a) Returns the int [Link](2.75) =
rounded value up 3
to the nearest [Link](2.25) =
integer. 2
[Link](a) Returns the double [Link](2.75) =
rounded value 2.0
down to the [Link](-2.25) =
nearest integer. -2.0
[Link](a) Returns the whole double [Link] (2.75) =
number greater 3.0
than or equal to [Link](2.25) =
the number. 3.0
Let us think!
• Find the output.
1. [Link]([Link](5.0,-2.0));
2. [Link]([Link]([Link](-56.25)
);
3. [Link]([Link](8.5));
4. [Link]([Link](-8.50));?
5. [Link]([Link](-8.51));
6. [Link]([Link](-0.95));
7. [Link]([Link](-25.5,-12.5));
8. [Link]([Link](-0.88));
Write the answers in the notebook.
1. Distinguish between [Link]() and
[Link]()
2. Write syntax to find round off a number d,
square root of a number d and exponent of a
number e.
3. What is [Link](a) function used for? Give an
example.
4. What is the syntax to find smaller between two
numbers a and b?
