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.

int floorDiv (int x, int y)
Returns the largest (closest to positive infinity)

operator are the same. floorDiv(4, 3) == 1
and (4 / 3) == 1
.floorDiv
returns the integer less than or equal to the quotient
and the /

long floorDiv (long x, long y)
Returns the largest (closest to positive infinity)
long
value that is less than or equal to the algebraic quotient.
There is one special case, if the dividend is the
Long.MIN_VALUE and the divisor is -1
,
then integer overflow occurs and

.
Normal integer division operates under the round to zero rounding mode (truncation). This operation instead acts under the round toward negative infinity (floor) rounding mode. The floor rounding mode gives different results than truncation when the exact result is negative.

long floorMod (long x, long y)
Returns the floor modulus of the long
arguments.
The floor modulus is x - (floorDiv(x, y) * y)
,
has the same sign as the divisor y
, and
is in the range of -abs(y) < r < +abs(y)
.
The relationship between floorDiv
and floorMod
is such that:
floorDiv(x, y) * y + floorMod(x, y) == x
For examples, see floorMod(int, int)
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
x |
long :
the dividend |
y |
long :
the divisor |
Returns | |
---|---|
long |
the floor modulus x - (floorDiv(x, y) * y) |
Throws | |
---|---|

See also:
int floorMod (int x, int y)
Returns the floor modulus of the int
arguments.
The floor modulus is x - (floorDiv(x, y) * y)
,
has the same sign as the divisor y
, and
is in the range of -abs(y) < r < +abs(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 is due to the difference between
floorDiv
that returns the integer less than or equal to the quotient
and the /
operator that returns the integer closest to zero.
Examples:
floorMod
and the %
operator are the same. floorMod(4, 3) == 1
; and (4 % 3) == 1
%
operator.floorMod(+4, -3) == -2
; and (+4 % -3) == +1
floorMod(-4, +3) == +2
; and (-4 % +3) == -1
floorMod(-4, -3) == -1
; and (-4 % -3) == -1
If the signs of arguments are unknown and a positive modulus
is needed it can be computed as (floorMod(x, y) + abs(y)) % abs(y)
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
x |
int :
the dividend |
y |
int :
the divisor |
Returns | |
---|---|

the floor modulus x - (floorDiv(x, y) * y) |
Throws | |

double random ()
Returns a double
value with a positive sign, greater
than or equal to 0.0
and less than 1.0
.
Returned values are chosen pseudorandomly with (approximately)
uniform distribution from that range.
When this method is first called, it creates a single new pseudorandom-number generator, exactly as if by the expression
new java.util.Random()
This new pseudorandom-number generator is used thereafter for
all calls to this method and is used nowhere else.
This method is properly synchronized to allow correct use by more than one thread. However, if many threads need to generate pseudorandom numbers at a great rate, it may reduce contention for each thread to have its own pseudorandom-number generator.
Returns | |
---|---|
double |
a pseudorandom double greater than or equal
to 0.0 and less than 1.0 . |
