Class Overview

Class StrictMath provides basic math constants and operations such as trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions, exponential, logarithms, etc.

In contrast to class Math, the methods in this class return exactly the same results on all platforms. Algorithms based on these methods thus behave the same (e.g. regarding numerical convergence) on all platforms, complying with the slogan "write once, run everywhere". On the other side, the implementation of class StrictMath may be less efficient than that of class Math, as class StrictMath cannot utilize platform specific features such as an extended precision math co-processors.

The methods in this class are specified using the "Freely Distributable Math Library" (fdlibm), version 5.3.

  • tanh(-0.0) = -0.0
  • tanh(+infinity) = +1.0
  • tanh(-infinity) = -1.0
  • tanh(NaN) = NaN

Parameters
d the value whose hyperbolic tangent has to be computed.
Returns
  • the hyperbolic tangent of the argument

public static double toDegrees (double angrad)

Since: API Level 1

Returns the measure in degrees of the supplied radian angle. The result is angrad * 180 / pi.

Special cases:

  • toDegrees(+0.0) = +0.0
  • toDegrees(-0.0) = -0.0
  • toDegrees(+infinity) = +infinity
  • toDegrees(-infinity) = -infinity
  • toDegrees(NaN) = NaN

Parameters
angrad an angle in radians.
Returns
  • the degree measure of the angle.

public static double toRadians (double angdeg)

Since: API Level 1

Returns the measure in radians of the supplied degree angle. The result is angdeg / 180 * pi.

Special cases:

  • toRadians(+0.0) = +0.0
  • toRadians(-0.0) = -0.0
  • toRadians(+infinity) = +infinity
  • toRadians(-infinity) = -infinity
  • toRadians(NaN) = NaN

Parameters
angdeg an angle in degrees.
Returns
  • the radian measure of the angle.

public static float ulp (float f)

Since: API Level 1

Returns the argument's ulp (unit in the last place). The size of a ulp of a float value is the positive distance between this value and the float value next larger in magnitude. For non-NaN x, ulp(-x) == ulp(x).

Special cases:

  • ulp(+0.0) = Float.MIN_VALUE
  • ulp(-0.0) = Float.MIN_VALUE
  • ulp(+infinity) = infinity
  • ulp(-infinity) = infinity
  • ulp(NaN) = NaN

Parameters
f the floating-point value to compute ulp of.
Returns
  • the size of a ulp of the argument.

public static double ulp (double d)

Since: API Level 1

Returns the argument's ulp (unit in the last place). The size of a ulp of a double value is the positive distance between this value and the double value next larger in magnitude. For non-NaN x, ulp(-x) == ulp(x).

Special cases:

  • ulp(+0.0) = Double.MIN_VALUE
  • ulp(-0.0) = Double.MIN_VALUE
  • ulp(+infinity) = infinity
  • ulp(-infinity) = infinity
  • ulp(NaN) = NaN

Parameters
d the floating-point value to compute ulp of.
Returns
  • the size of a ulp of the argument.
