LIBRARY METHODS
BY ASHWINI K S
INTRODUCTION 2

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 There are some function designed and developed to help the user to perform
certain tasks easily and quickly.
 Mathematical library functions are some those functions.
 These function are developed to perform some mathematical operation.
 These is class called ‘math’ in which many functions defined.
 This class is in ’java.lang’ package.
 The general syntax of using math function in java program is as follows.
 Math. <method name>
Math. min() 3

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 It returns the minimum of 2 numbers.
 Return type may be int /long/double , depending on the type of the argument.
 Syntax :
 <return type> <variable>=< function name(arg1, agr2)> ;
 Example :
 Float x = Math.min( 6.3, 2.0)
 Output : 2.0
Math.max() 4

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 It returns the greatest of 2 numbers.
 Return type may be int /long/double , depending on the type of the argument.
 Syntax :
 <return type> <variable>=< function name(arg1, agr2)> ;
 Example :
 Float x = Math.max( -5.3, -2.7)
 Output : -2.7
Math.pow() 5

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 This method is used to find the power raised to given base number
 It returns the double value
 Syntax :
 <return type> <variable>=< function name(arg1, agr2)> ;
 Example :
 double x = Math.pow( 3, 3) =33
 Output : 27
Math.sqrt() 6

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 This method is used to find the square root raised of a positive number
 It returns the double value
 Syntax :
 <return type> <variable>=< function name(positive number)> ;
 Example :
 doublet x = Math.sqrt(4)
 Output : 2
Math.cbrt() 7

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 This method is used to find the cube root of a positive number
 It returns the double value
 Syntax :
 <return type> <variable>=< function name(positive number)> ;
 Example :
 double x = Math.cbrt(25)
 Output : 5
Math.abs() 8

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 This method is used to find the absolute value(magnitude of the number) of the
number given.
 It may return int/long/double value depending on the input.
 Syntax :
 <return type> <variable>=< function name(number)> ;
 Example :
 double x = Math.abs(-9. 25)
 Output : 9.25
Math.log() 9

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 https://pdf4pro.com/fullscreen/logarithm-table-for-numbers-1-to-5-7abd0.html
 This method is used to find the natural logarithmic value of a number
 It returns the double value
 Syntax :
 <return type> <variable>=< function name(positive number)> ;
 Example :
 double x = Math.log(6.25)
 Output : 1.8325
Math.round() 10
 This method is used to round up a number to its nearest integer.

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 If the fractional value is less than 0.5, then it returns same integer.
 If the value is more than 0.5, then it returns next highest integer.
 The round function always rounds the value up, when it’s a middle decimal value
i.e. 0.5 .
 If x= 5.5 then its rounded to 6
 If x= -5.5 then its rounded to -5
 It returns different values for positive and negative numbers.
 It returns the value in long when input value is double
 It returns the value in int when input value is float.
Math.round() 11

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 Syntax :
 <return type> <variable>=< function name(positive number)> ;
 Example :
 long x = Math.round(6.25)
 Output : 6
 Long x= math.round(-8.5)
 Output.-8
Math.rint() 12

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 This function returns the nearest integer of a given fractional number.
 The return type double.
 If the argument is positive or negative number, this method will return the nearest
value.
 If two double values that are mathematical integers are equally close, this method
will return integer value that is even.
 If the argument is infinity or positive zero or negative zero, this method will
return the argument value as a result.
Math.rint() 13

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 Syntax :
 <return type> <variable>=< function name(number)> ;
 Example :
 double x = Math.rint(-9. 5) (negative numbers)
 Output : -10.0
 double x = Math.rint(8. 5) (positive numbers)
 Output : 8
 Test example
Math.ceil() 14

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 The Math.ceil() function rounds a floating point value up to the nearest integer
value.
 The rounded value is returned as a double.
 Syntax :
 <return type> <variable>=< function name(number)> ;
 Example :
 double ceil = Math.ceil(7.343); // ceil = 8.0
Math.floor() 15

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 The Math.floor() function rounds a floating point value down to the nearest
integer value.
 The rounded value is returned as a double.
 Syntax :
 <return type> <variable>=< function name(number)> ;
 Example :
 double floor = Math.floor(7.343); // floor = 7.0
Math.exp() 16

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 The Math.exp() function returns e (Euler's number) raised to the power of the
value provided as parameter.
 Syntax :
 <return type> <variable>=< function name(number)> ;
 Example :
 double exp = Math.exp(2);
 In the example above 2 is the argument. 2 will be the power of the exponential
constant e.
 e = 2.718.
 Output : 7.38905609893065
Trigonometric Math Functions 17

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 The Java Math class contains a set of trigonometric functions.
 These functions can calculate values used in trigonometry, like sine, cosine, tangent .
 The angles are passed as an argument to the function. The angle has to be passed in
radians.
 Syntax : <return type> <variable>=< function name(angle in radian)> ;
 For example:
 math.sin(x)
 math.cos(x)
 math.tan(x).
Conversion from degree to radian 18

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 Pi radians are equal to 180 degrees:
 π rad = 180°
 One degree is equal 0.01745329252 radians:
 1° = π/180° = 0.005555556π = 0.01745329252 radian
 radians = degrees × π / 180°
 Example : 30°
 30° × 3.14159 / 180° = 0.5236 rad
Math.random() 19

Lorven Public School, Chandapura

 Math.random() returns a random number between 0 (inclusive), and 1 (exclusive)
 Syntax :
 <return type> <variable>=< function name()> ;
 Example : double d= math.random();
 It will return any random value between 0 and 1 for d.
