Java Math

The Java Math class offers a variety of methods enabling you to execute mathematical operations and calculations with numbers.

Math.max(x,y)

You can utilize the Math.max(x, y) method to determine the greater value between x and y.

Example

Math.min(x,y)

The Math.min(x, y) method facilitates identifying the smaller value between x and y:

Example

Math.sqrt(x)

The Math.sqrt(x) method provides the square root value of x.

Example

Math.abs(x)

The Math.abs(x) method yields the absolute, or positive, value of x.

Example

Math.abs(-4.7);

Random Numbers

Math.random() generates a random number within the range of 0.0 (inclusive) to 1.0 (exclusive).

Example

Math.random();

int randomNum = (int)(Math.random() * 101);  // 0 to 100
