Java Math class provides several methods to work on math calculations like min(), max(), avg(), sin(), cos(), tan(), round(), ceil(), floor(), abs() etc.

Unlike some of the StrictMath class numeric methods, all implementations of the equivalent function of Math class can’t define to return the bit-for-bit same results. This relaxation permits implementation with better-performance where strict reproducibility is not required.

If the size is int or long and the results overflow the range of value, the methods addExact(), subtractExact(), multiplyExact(), and toIntExact() throw an ArithmeticException.

For other arithmetic operations like increment, decrement, divide, absolute value, and negation overflow occur only with a specific minimum or maximum value. It should be checked against the maximum and minimum value as appropriate.

Example 1

public class JavaMathExample1    
{    
    public static void main(String[] args)     
    {    
        double x = 28;    
        double y = 4;    
          
        // return the maximum of two numbers  
        System.out.println("Maximum number of x and y is: " +Math.max(x, y));   
          
        // return the square root of y   
        System.out.println("Square root of y is: " + Math.sqrt(y));   
          
        //returns 28 power of 4 i.e. 28*28*28*28    
        System.out.println("Power of x and y is: " + Math.pow(x, y));      
  
        // return the logarithm of given value       
        System.out.println("Logarithm of x is: " + Math.log(x));   
        System.out.println("Logarithm of y is: " + Math.log(y));  
          
        // return the logarithm of given value when base is 10      
        System.out.println("log10 of x is: " + Math.log10(x));   
        System.out.println("log10 of y is: " + Math.log10(y));    
          
        // return the log of x + 1  
        System.out.println("log1p of x is: " +Math.log1p(x));    
  
        // return a power of 2    
        System.out.println("exp of a is: " +Math.exp(x));    
          
        // return (a power of 2)-1  
        System.out.println("expm1 of a is: " +Math.expm1(x));
