Class Math



  • public final classMathextendsObject
    The classMath contains methods for performing basic numeric operations such as the elementary exponential, logarithm, square root, and trigonometric functions.

    Unlike some of the numeric methods of classStrictMath, all implementations of the equivalent functions of classMath are not defined to return the bit-for-bit same results. This relaxation permits better-performing implementations where strict reproducibility is not required.

    By default many of theMath methods simply call the equivalent method inStrictMath for their implementation. Code generators are encouraged to use platform-specific native libraries or microprocessor instructions, where available, to provide higher-performance implementations ofMath methods. Such higher-performance implementations still must conform to the specification forMath.

    The quality of implementation specifications concern two properties, accuracy of the returned result and monotonicity of the method. Accuracy of the floating-pointMath methods is measured in terms ofulps, units in the last place. For a given floating-point format, anulp of a specific real number value is the distance between the two floating-point values bracketing that numerical value. When discussing the accuracy of a method as a whole rather than at a specific argument, the number of ulps cited is for the worst-case error at any argument. If a method always has an error less than 0.5 ulps, the method always returns the floating-point number nearest the exact result; such a method iscorrectly rounded. A correctly rounded method is generally the best a floating-point approximation can be; however, it is impractical for many floating-point methods to be correctly rounded. Instead, for theMath class, a larger error bound of 1 or 2 ulps is allowed for certain methods. Informally, with a 1 ulp error bound, when the exact result is a representable number, the exact result should be returned as the computed result; otherwise, either of the two floating-point values which bracket the exact result may be returned. For exact results large in magnitude, one of the endpoints of the bracket may be infinite. Besides accuracy at individual arguments, maintaining proper relations between the method at different arguments is also important. Therefore, most methods with more than 0.5 ulp errors are required to besemi-monotonic: whenever the mathematical function is non-decreasing, so is the floating-point approximation, likewise, whenever the mathematical function is non-increasing, so is the floating-point approximation. Not all approximations that have 1 ulp accuracy will automatically meet the monotonicity requirements.

    The platform uses signed two's complement integer arithmetic with int and long primitive types. The developer should choose the primitive type to ensure that arithmetic operations consistently produce correct results, which in some cases means the operations will not overflow the range of values of the computation. The best practice is to choose the primitive type and algorithm to avoid overflow. In cases where the size isint orlong and overflow errors need to be detected, the methodsaddExact,subtractExact,multiplyExact, andtoIntExact throw anArithmeticException when the results overflow. For other arithmetic operations such as divide, absolute value, increment by one, decrement by one, and negation, overflow occurs only with a specific minimum or maximum value and should be checked against the minimum or maximum as appropriate.

      • random

        public static double random​()
        Returns adouble value with a positive sign, greater than or equal to0.0 and less than1.0. Returned values are chosen pseudorandomly with (approximately) uniform distribution from that range.

        When this method is first called, it creates a single new pseudorandom-number generator, exactly as if by the expression

        new java.util.Random()
        This new pseudorandom-number generator is used thereafter for all calls to this method and is used nowhere else.

        This method is properly synchronized to allow correct use by more than one thread. However, if many threads need to generate pseudorandom numbers at a great rate, it may reduce contention for each thread to have its own pseudorandom-number generator.

        API Note:
        As the largestdouble value less than1.0 isMath.nextDown(1.0), a valuex in the closed range[x1,x2] wherex1<=x2 may be defined by the statements
         double f = Math.random()/Math.nextDown(1.0); double x = x1*(1.0 - f) + x2*f;
        Returns:
        a pseudorandomdouble greater than or equal to0.0 and less than1.0.

        public static int floorMod​(int x,                           int y)
        Returns the floor modulus of theint arguments.

        The floor modulus isx - (floorDiv(x, y) * y), has the same sign as the divisory, and is in the range of-abs(y) < r < +abs(y).

        The relationship betweenfloorDiv andfloorMod is such that:

        • floorDiv(x, y) * y + floorMod(x, y) == x

        The difference in values betweenfloorMod and the% operator is due to the difference betweenfloorDiv that returns the integer less than or equal to the quotient and the/ operator that returns the integer closest to zero.

        Examples:

        • If the signs of the arguments are the same, the results offloorMod and the% operator are the same.
          • floorMod(4, 3) == 1;   and(4 % 3) == 1
        • If the signs of the arguments are different, the results differ from the% operator.
          • floorMod(+4, -3) == -2;   and(+4 % -3) == +1
          • floorMod(-4, +3) == +2;   and(-4 % +3) == -1
          • floorMod(-4, -3) == -1;   and(-4 % -3) == -1

        If the signs of arguments are unknown and a positive modulus is needed it can be computed as(floorMod(x, y) + abs(y)) % abs(y).

        public static long floorMod​(long x,                            long y)
        Returns the floor modulus of thelong arguments.

        Parameters:
        x - the dividend
        y - the divisor
        Returns:

        Returns the fused multiply add of the three arguments; that is, returns the exact product of the first two arguments summed with the third argument and then rounded once to the nearestdouble. The rounding is done using theround to nearest even rounding mode. In contrast, ifa * b + c is evaluated as a regular floating-point expression, two rounding errors are involved, the first for the multiply operation, the second for the addition operation.

        Special cases:

        • If any argument is NaN, the result is NaN.
        • If one of the first two arguments is infinite and the other is zero, the result is NaN.
        • If the exact product of the first two arguments is infinite (in other words, at least one of the arguments is infinite and the other is neither zero nor NaN) and the third argument is an infinity of the opposite sign, the result is NaN.

        Note thatfma(a, 1.0, c) returns the same result as (a + c). However,fma(a, b, +0.0) doesnot always return the same result as (a * b) sincefma(-0.0, +0.0, +0.0) is+0.0 while (-0.0 * +0.0) is-0.0;fma(a, b, -0.0) is equivalent to (a * b) however.

        Returns the fused multiply add of the three arguments; that is, returns the exact product of the first two arguments summed with the third argument and then rounded once to the nearestfloat. The rounding is done using theround to nearest even rounding mode. In contrast, ifa * b + c is evaluated as a regular floating-point expression, two rounding errors are involved, the first for the multiply operation, the second for the addition operation.

        Note thatfma(a, 1.0f, c) returns the same result as (a + c). However,fma(a, b, +0.0f) doesnot always return the same result as (a * b) sincefma(-0.0f, +0.0f, +0.0f) is+0.0f while (-0.0f * +0.0f) is-0.0f;fma(a, b, -0.0f) is equivalent to (a * b) however.

      • scalb

        public static double scalb​(double d,                           int scaleFactor)
        Returnsd × 2scaleFactor rounded as if performed by a single correctly rounded floating-point multiply to a member of the double value set. See the Java Language Specification for a discussion of floating-point value sets. If the exponent of the result is betweenDouble.MIN_EXPONENT andDouble.MAX_EXPONENT, the answer is calculated exactly. If the exponent of the result would be larger thanDouble.MAX_EXPONENT, an infinity is returned. Note that if the result is subnormal, precision may be lost; that is, whenscalb(x, n) is subnormal,scalb(scalb(x, n), -n) may not equalx. When the result is non-NaN, the result has the same sign asd.

        Special cases:

        • If the first argument is NaN, NaN is returned.
