public final class Math extends Object
The class Math
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 class StrictMath
, all implementations of the equivalent functions of class Math
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 the Math
methods simply call the equivalent method in StrictMath
for their implementation. Code generators are encouraged to use platform-specific native libraries or microprocessor instructions, where available, to provide higher-performance implementations of Math
methods. Such higher-performance implementations still must conform to the specification for Math
.
The quality of implementation specifications concern two properties, accuracy of the returned result and monotonicity of the method. Accuracy of the floating-point Math
methods is measured in terms of ulps, units in the last place. For a given floating-point format, an ulp 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 is correctly 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 the Math
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 be semi-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 is int
or long
and overflow errors need to be detected, the methods addExact
, subtractExact
, multiplyExact
, and toIntExact
throw an ArithmeticException
when the results overflow. For other arithmetic operations such as divide, absolute value, increment, decrement, and negation overflow occurs only with a specific minimum or maximum value and should be checked against the minimum or maximum as appropriate.

public static int floorMod(int x, int y)
Returns the floor modulus of the int
arguments.
The floor modulus is x - (floorDiv(x, y) * y)

The relationship between floorDiv
and floorMod
is such that:
floorDiv(x, y) * y + floorMod(x, y) == x
The difference in values between floorMod

and the %
operator are the same. floorMod(4, 3) == 1

- starting floating-point valuepublic static double nextDown(double d)
Returns the floating-point value adjacent to d
in the direction of negative infinity. This method is semantically equivalent to nextAfter(d,
Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY)
; however, a nextDown
implementation may run faster than its equivalent nextAfter
call.
Special Cases:
-Double.MIN_VALUE
d
- starting floating-point valuepublic static float nextDown(float f)
Returns the floating-point value adjacent to f
in the direction of negative infinity. This method is semantically equivalent to nextAfter(f,
Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY)
; however, a nextDown
implementation may run faster than its equivalent nextAfter
call.
Special Cases:
-Float.MIN_VALUE
f
- starting floating-point valuepublic static double scalb(double d, int scaleFactor)
Returns d
× 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 between Double.MIN_EXPONENT
and Double.MAX_EXPONENT
, the answer is calculated exactly. If the exponent of the result would be larger than Double.MAX_EXPONENT
, an infinity is returned. Note that if the result is subnormal, precision may be lost; that is, when scalb(x, n)
is subnormal, scalb(scalb(x, n), -n)
may not equal x. When the result is non-NaN, the result has the same sign as d
.
Special cases:
d
- number to be scaled by a power of two.scaleFactor
- power of 2 used to scale d
d
