Java.lang.StrictMath class in Java | Set 1 (original) (raw)

StrictMath Class methods helps to perform the numeric operations like square, square root, cube, cube root, exponential and trigonometric operations

Declaration :

public final class StrictMath extends Object

NaN argument?
A constant holding a Not-a-Number (NaN) value of type double. It is equivalent to the value returned by Double.longBitsToDouble(0x7ff8000000000000L).

Methods of lang.math class :
1. acos() : java.lang.StrictMath.acos() method returns the arc cosine value of the passed argument.
arc cosine is inverse cosine of the argument passed.
acos(arg) = cos-1 of arg

Special Case : Result is NaN, if the argument is NaN or its absolute value is greater than 1.

Syntax:

public static double acos(double a) Parameters: a - the argument whose arc cosine value we need. argument is taken as radian
Returns: arc cosine value of the argument.

2. abs() : java.lang.StrictMath.abs() method returns the absolute value of any type of the argument passed. This method can handle all the data types.

Result is positive zero, if the argument is positive zero or negative zero.
Result is positive infinity if the argument is infinite.
Result is NaN, if passed argument is NaN.

Syntax:

public static datatype abs(datatype arg) Parameters: arg - the argument whose absolute value we need Returns: absolute value of the passed argument.

3. toRadians() : java.lang.StrictMath.toRadians(double deg) method converts argument (degree) to radians.
Note: StrictMath class usually takes radians as an input which is very much different in real life applications since angles is usually represented in degrees.

Syntax:

public static double toRadians(double deg) Parameters: deg - degree angle needs to be in radian. Returns: radians equivalent of the degree-argument passed.

Java code explaining abs(), acos(), toRadians() method in lang.StrictMath class.

Java `

// Java program explaining lang.StrictMath class methods // abs(), acos(), toRadians()

import java.lang.*; public class NewClass { public static void main(String[] args) { // Declaring the variables int Vali = -1; float Valf = .5f;

    // Printing the values
    System.out.println("Initial value of int  : " + Vali);
    System.out.println("Initial value of int  : " + Valf);


    // Use of .abs() method to get the absoluteValue
    int Absi = StrictMath.abs(Vali);
    float Absf = StrictMath.abs(Valf);

    System.out.println("Absolute value of int : " + Absi);
    System.out.println("Absolute value of int : " + Absf);
    System.out.println("");

    // Use of acos() method
    // Value greater than 1, so passing NaN
    double Acosi = StrictMath.acos(60);
    System.out.println("acos value of Acosi : " + Acosi);
    double x = StrictMath.PI;

    // Use of toRadian() method
    x = StrictMath.toRadians(x);
    double Acosj = StrictMath.acos(x);
    System.out.println("acos value of Acosj : " + Acosj);
    
}

}

Output :

Initial value of int : -1 Initial value of int : 0.5 Absolute value of int : 1 Absolute value of int : 0.5

acos value of Acosi : NaN acos value of Acosj : 1.5159376794536454

4. cbrt() : java.lang.StrictMath.cbrt() method returns the cube root of the passed argument.

Special Point :

Result is NaN, if the argument is NaN.
Result is an infinity with the same sign as the argument if the argument is infinite.
Result is a zero, if the argument is zero.

Syntax:

public static double cbrt(double arg) Parameters: arg - argument passed. Returns: cube root of the argument passed

5. asin() : java.lang.StrictMath.asin() method returns the arc sine value of the method argument passed. Returned angle is in the range -pi/2 to pi/2.
arc sine is inverse sine of the argument passed.
asin(arg) = sine-1 of arg

Special Case :

Result is NaN, if the argument is NaN or its absolute value is greater than 1.
Result is a zero, if the argument is zero.

Syntax:

public static double asin(double arg) Parameters: arg - argument passed. Returns: arc sine of the argument passed.

hypotenuse = [perpendicular2 + base2]1/2

Important Point :

If either argument is infinite, then the result is positive infinity.
If either argument is NaN and neither argument is infinite, then the result is NaN.
