Java Math

The Java Math class has many methods which helps to perform mathematical tasks on numbers.

Math.max(x,y) – This method can be used to find the highest value of x and y.

Math.min(x,y) – This method can be used to find the lowest value of x and y.

Math.sqrt(x) – This method will return the square root of the value x.

Math.abs(x) – This method the absolute (positive) value of x.

Math.random() – This method returns number between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive).

Example:

int x = 10;
int y = 20;
             
System.out.println("Maximum of x and y : " +Math.max(x, y));
System.out.println("Minimum of x and y : " +Math.min(x, y));
System.out.println("Square of x : " +Math.sqrt(x));
System.out.println("Absolue value of -10.7 : " +Math.abs(-10.7));
System.out.println("Random value : " +Math.random());

Output:

Maximum of x and y : 20
Minimum of x and y : 10
Square of x : 3.1622776601683795
Absolue value of -10.7 : 10.7
Random value : 0.46976251485316733
