Introduction
• Math Library class has collection of functions that manipulates the numerical
values

• It is a static class.

• It is present in java.lang package(default package)

• Syntax: Math.functionname(argument)

Function Name Description Example

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
Math.cbrt(value) given argument value Math.cbrt(-27) // -3.0
Return Type: double

Syntax
round() Return the value in Math.round(2.3) // 2
Math.round(value) rounded form Math.round(2.6) // 3
Return Type: long (most Math.round(-2.1) // -2
of the time) or int Math.round(-2.8) // -3
random() Return any random Math.random() // any number between 0 & 1
Math.random() number between 0 & 1 To get numbers from 0 to 9
Return Type: double System.out.println((int)(Math.random( )*10));
To get numbers from 0 to 99
System.out.println((int)(Math.random( )*100));
To get numbers for a range: int m=60, n=45;
System.out.println((int)(Math.random( )*(m-n)+n));

Syntax
rint() Return the integer value in double datatype after Math.rint(2.6) // 3.0
Math.rint(value) rounding the decimal part the given argument. Math.rint(2.2) // 2.0
In case 0.5 fractional value, it will round off Math.rint(2.5) // 2.0
to nearest even integer in double datatype Math.rint(3.5) // 4.0
Return Type: double
log() Return the natural logarithmic value of the given Math.log(5.5)
Math.log(value) argument //1.7047480922384253
