Trigonometric methods in Java

Java 8 Object Oriented Programming Programming

The java.lang.Math class contains methods for performing basic numeric operations such as the trigonometry, logarithm, etc.

The following are some of the methods.

Sr.No	Methods & Description
1	static double abs(double a) This method returns the absolute value of a double value.
2	static float abs(float a) This method returns the absolute value of a float value.
3	static int abs(int a) This method returns the absolute value of an int value.
4	static long abs(long a) This method returns the absolute value of a long value.
5	static double acos(double a) This method returns the arc cosine of a value; the returned angle is in the range 0.0 through pi.
6	static double asin(double a) This method returns the arc sine of a value; the returned angle is in the range -pi/2 through pi/2.

Let us see an example of acos() method.

Example

Live Demo

public class Demo {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      double val = Math.PI / 2;
      val = Math.toRadians(val);
      System.out.println("Math.acos(" + val + ") = " + Math.acos(val));
   }
}

Output

Math.acos(0.027415567780803774) = 1.5433773235341761

Let us see an example of asin() method.

Example

Live Demo

public class Demo {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      double val = Math.PI / 2;
      val = Math.toRadians(val);
      System.out.println("Math.asin(" + val + ") = " + Math.asin(val));
   }
}

Output

Math.asin(0.027415567780803774) = 0.02741900326072046

Let us see an example of log() method.

Example

Live Demo

public class Demo {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      double val1 = 39564.9;
      double val2 = 1;
      System.out.println("Math.log(" + val1 + ") = " + Math.log(val1));
      System.out.println("Math.log(" + val2 + ") = " + Math.log(val2));
   }
}

Output

Math.log(39564.9) = 10.585697640553684
Math.log(1.0) = 0.0
