Java.lang.Math Class in Java | Set 1 - GeeksforGeeks

02 Aug, 2021
Math Class methods helps to perform the numeric operations like square, square root, cube, cube root, exponential and trigonometric operations
Declaration :
public final class Math
   extends Object
What is 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. abs() : java.lang.Math.abs() method returns the absolute value of any type of 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.
2. acos() : java.lang.Math.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.
3. toRadians() : java.lang.Math.toRadians(double deg) method converts argument (degree) to radians.Note: Math 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.
