7) Mathematical Library Methods

The Math Library Class in Java provides a collection of static functions for manipulating numerical values, located in the java.lang package. Key functions include sqrt(), cbrt(), pow(), abs(), min(), max(), ceil(), floor(), round(), random(), rint(), and log(), each serving specific mathematical purposes with examples provided. The return types for these functions vary, primarily being double, int, or long depending on the input.

Syntax
sqrt() Returns the square root of the Math.sqrt(16) // 4.0
Math.sqrt(value) given argument value Math.sqrt(-16) // Logical error
Return Type: double as square root of negative
number is not possible. Output
will be NAN (Not A Number)
cbrt() Returns the cube root of the Math.cbrt(27) // 3.0
