Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:StrictMath [NONE]
public final class StrictMath extends Object The class `StrictMath` contains methods for performing basic numeric operations such as the elementary exponential, logarithm, square root, and trigonometric functions. To help ensure portability of Java programs, the definitions of some of the numeric functions in this package require that they produce the same results as certain published algorithms. These algorithms are available from the well-known network library `netlib` as the package "Freely Distributable Math Library," `fdlibm`. These algorithms, which are written in the C programming language, are then to be understood as executed with all floating-point operations following the rules of Java floating-point arithmetic. The Java math library is defined with respect to `fdlibm` version 5.3. Where `fdlibm` provides more than one definition for a function (such as `acos`), use the "IEEE 754 core function" version (residing in a file whose name begins with the letter `e`). The methods which require `fdlibm` semantics are `sin`, `cos`, `tan`, `asin`, `acos`, `atan`, `exp`, `log`, `log10`, `cbrt`, `atan2`, `pow`, `sinh`, `cosh`, `tanh`, `hypot`, `expm1`, and `log1p`. 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 whose names end with `Exact` throw an `ArithmeticException` when the results overflow. ## IEEE 754 Recommended Operations The `Math` class discusses how the shared quality of implementation criteria for selected `Math` and `StrictMath` methods relate to the IEEE 754 recommended operations . Since: 1.3

If both arguments are integers, then the result is exactly equal to the mathematical result of raising the first argument to the power of the second argument if that result can in fact be represented exactly as a `double` value. (In the foregoing descriptions, a floating-point value is considered to be an integer if and only if it is finite and a fixed point of the method `ceil` or, equivalently, a fixed point of the method `floor`. A value is a fixed point of a one-argument method if and only if the result of applying the method to the value is equal to the value.) API Note: The special cases definitions of this method differ from the special case definitions of the IEEE 754 recommended `pow` operation for ±`1.0` raised to an infinite power. This method treats such cases as indeterminate and specifies a NaN is returned. The IEEE 754 specification treats the infinite power as a large integer (large-magnitude floating-point numbers are numerically integers, specifically even integers) and therefore specifies `1.0` be returned. Parameters: `a` - base. `b` - the exponent. Returns: the value `a``b`.

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.

### nextAfter public static double nextAfter (double start, double direction) Returns the floating-point number adjacent to the first argument in the direction of the second argument. If both arguments compare as equal the second argument is returned. Special cases: If either argument is a NaN, then NaN is returned. If both arguments are signed zeros, `direction` is returned unchanged (as implied by the requirement of returning the second argument if the arguments compare as equal). If `start` is ±`Double.MIN_VALUE` and `direction` has a value such that the result should have a smaller magnitude, then a zero with the same sign as `start` is returned. If `start` is infinite and `direction` has a value such that the result should have a smaller magnitude, `Double.MAX_VALUE` with the same sign as `start` is returned. If `start` is equal to ± `Double.MAX_VALUE` and `direction` has a value such that the result should have a larger magnitude, an infinity with same sign as `start` is returned. Parameters: `start` - starting floating-point value `direction` - value indicating which of `start`'s neighbors or `start` should be returned Returns: The floating-point number adjacent to `start` in the direction of `direction`. Since: 1.6

### method:nextAfter(float,double) [NONE]
### nextAfter public static float nextAfter (float start, double direction) Returns the floating-point number adjacent to the first argument in the direction of the second argument. If both arguments compare as equal a value equivalent to the second argument is returned. Special cases: If either argument is a NaN, then NaN is returned. If both arguments are signed zeros, a value equivalent to `direction` is returned. If `start` is ±`Float.MIN_VALUE` and `direction` has a value such that the result should have a smaller magnitude, then a zero with the same sign as `start` is returned. If `start` is infinite and `direction` has a value such that the result should have a smaller magnitude, `Float.MAX_VALUE` with the same sign as `start` is returned. If `start` is equal to ± `Float.MAX_VALUE` and `direction` has a value such that the result should have a larger magnitude, an infinity with same sign as `start` is returned. Parameters: `start` - starting floating-point value `direction` - value indicating which of `start`'s neighbors or `start` should be returned Returns: The floating-point number adjacent to `start` in the direction of `direction`. Since: 1.6

### method:nextUp(double) [NONE]
### nextUp public static double nextUp (double d) Returns the floating-point value adjacent to `d` in the direction of positive infinity. This method is semantically equivalent to `nextAfter(d, Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY)` ; however, a `nextUp` implementation may run faster than its equivalent `nextAfter` call. Special Cases: If the argument is NaN, the result is NaN. If the argument is positive infinity, the result is positive infinity. If the argument is zero, the result is `Double.MIN_VALUE` Parameters: `d` - starting floating-point value Returns: The adjacent floating-point value closer to positive infinity. Since: 1.6

### method:nextUp(float) [NONE]
### nextUp public static float nextUp (float f) Returns the floating-point value adjacent to `f` in the direction of positive infinity. This method is semantically equivalent to `nextAfter(f, Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY)` ; however, a `nextUp` implementation may run faster than its equivalent `nextAfter` call. Special Cases: If the argument is NaN, the result is NaN. If the argument is positive infinity, the result is positive infinity. If the argument is zero, the result is `Float.MIN_VALUE` Parameters: `f` - starting floating-point value Returns: The adjacent floating-point value closer to positive infinity. Since: 1.6

### method:nextDown(double) [NONE]
### nextDown public 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: If the argument is NaN, the result is NaN. If the argument is negative infinity, the result is negative infinity. If the argument is zero, the result is `-Double.MIN_VALUE` Parameters: `d` - starting floating-point value Returns: The adjacent floating-point value closer to negative infinity. Since: 1.8

### method:nextDown(float) [NONE]
### nextDown public 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: If the argument is NaN, the result is NaN. If the argument is negative infinity, the result is negative infinity. If the argument is zero, the result is `-Float.MIN_VALUE` Parameters: `f` - starting floating-point value Returns: The adjacent floating-point value closer to negative infinity. Since: 1.8

### method:scalb(double,int) [NONE]
### scalb public static double scalb (double d, int scaleFactor) Returns `d` × 2`scaleFactor` rounded as if performed by a single correctly rounded floating-point multiply. 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: If the first argument is NaN, NaN is returned. If the first argument is infinite, then an infinity of the same sign is returned. If the first argument is zero, then a zero of the same sign is returned. Parameters: `d` - number to be scaled by a power of two. `scaleFactor` - power of 2 used to scale `d` Returns: `d` × 2`scaleFactor` Since: 1.6

### method:scalb(float,int) [NONE]
### scalb public static float scalb (float f, int scaleFactor) Returns `f` × 2`scaleFactor` rounded as if performed by a single correctly rounded floating-point multiply. If the exponent of the result is between `Float.MIN_EXPONENT` and `Float.MAX_EXPONENT`, the answer is calculated exactly. If the exponent of the result would be larger than `Float.MAX_EXPONENT` , an infinity is returned.
