Java.lang.StrictMath.hypot() Method

Description

The java.lang.StrictMath.hypot() method returns sqrt(x² + y²) without intermediate overflow or underflow.It include some cases:

• If either argument is infinite, then the result is positive infinity.
• If either argument is NaN and neither argument is infinite, then the result is NaN.

Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.lang.StrictMath.hypot() method

public static double hypot(double x, double y)

Parameters

• x -- This is the value to be used.

• y -- This is the value to be used.

Return Value

This method returns sqrt(x² + y²) without intermediate overflow or underflow.

Exception

• NA

Example

The following example shows the usage of java.lang.StrictMath.hypot() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.lang.*;

public class StrictMathDemo {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
  
    double d1 = 3, d2 = 4, d3 = 6;

    // returns sqrt(x2 + y2)
    double hypotValue = StrictMath.hypot(d1, d2); 
    System.out.println("hypotenuse value of  d1 and d2 = " + hypotValue);
        
    hypotValue = StrictMath.hypot(d2, d3); 
    System.out.println("hypotenuse value of d2 and d3 = " + hypotValue);
  }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:

hypotenuse value of d1 and d2 = 5.0
hypotenuse value of d2 and d3 = 7.211102550927978
