Methods Summary
public static native double	IEEEremainder(double f1, double f2) Computes the remainder operation on two arguments as prescribed by the IEEE 754 standard. The remainder value is mathematically equal to f1 - f2 × n, where n is the mathematical integer closest to the exact mathematical value of the quotient f1/f2, and if two mathematical integers are equally close to f1/f2, then n is the integer that is even. If the remainder is zero, its sign is the same as the sign of the first argument. Special cases: If either argument is NaN, or the first argument is infinite, or the second argument is positive zero or negative zero, then the result is NaN. If the first argument is finite and the second argument is infinite, then the result is the same as the first argument. param f1 the dividend. param f2 the divisor. return the remainder when f1 is divided by f2.

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 {@link #ceil ceil} or, equivalently, a fixed point of the method {@link #floor 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.) param a base. param b the exponent. return the value ab.
public static double	random() Returns a double value with a positive sign, greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0. Returned values are chosen pseudorandomly with (approximately) uniform distribution from that range.

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. return a pseudorandom double greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0. see java.util.Random#nextDouble() if (randomNumberGenerator == null) initRNG(); return randomNumberGenerator.nextDouble();

When the result is non-NaN, the result has the same sign as {@code f}. 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. param f number to be scaled by a power of two. param scaleFactor power of 2 used to scale {@code f} return {@code f} × 2{@code scaleFactor} since 1.6 return sun.misc.FpUtils.scalb(f, scaleFactor);
public static double	signum(double d) Returns the signum function of the argument; zero if the argument is zero, 1.0 if the argument is greater than zero, -1.0 if the argument is less than zero. Special Cases: If the argument is NaN, then the result is NaN. If the argument is positive zero or negative zero, then the result is the same as the argument. param d the floating-point value whose signum is to be returned return the signum function of the argument author Joseph D. Darcy since 1.5 return sun.misc.FpUtils.signum(d);
public static float	signum(float f) Returns the signum function of the argument; zero if the argument is zero, 1.0f if the argument is greater than zero, -1.0f if the argument is less than zero. Special Cases: If the argument is NaN, then the result is NaN. If the argument is positive zero or negative zero, then the result is the same as the argument. param f the floating-point value whose signum is to be returned return the signum function of the argument author Joseph D. Darcy since 1.5 return sun.misc.FpUtils.signum(f);
public static native double	sin(double a) Returns the trigonometric sine of an angle. Special cases: If the argument is NaN or an infinity, then the result is NaN. If the argument is zero, then the result is a zero with the same sign as the argument. param a an angle, in radians. return the sine of the argument.
public static native double	sinh(double x) Returns the hyperbolic sine of a double value. The hyperbolic sine of x is defined to be (ex - e-x)/2 where e is {@linkplain Math#E Euler's number}. Special cases: If the argument is NaN, then the result is NaN. If the argument is infinite, then the result is an infinity with the same sign as the argument. If the argument is zero, then the result is a zero with the same sign as the argument. param x The number whose hyperbolic sine is to be returned. return The hyperbolic sine of x. since 1.5
public static native double	sqrt(double a) Returns the correctly rounded positive square root of a double value. Special cases: If the argument is NaN or less than zero, then the result is NaN. If the argument is positive infinity, then the result is positive infinity. If the argument is positive zero or negative zero, then the result is the same as the argument. Otherwise, the result is the double value closest to the true mathematical square root of the argument value. param a a value. return the positive square root of a.
public static native double	tan(double a) Returns the trigonometric tangent of an angle. Special cases: If the argument is NaN or an infinity, then the result is NaN. If the argument is zero, then the result is a zero with the same sign as the argument. param a an angle, in radians. return the tangent of the argument.
public static native double	tanh(double x) Returns the hyperbolic tangent of a double value. The hyperbolic tangent of x is defined to be (ex - e-x)/(ex + e-x), in other words, {@linkplain Math#sinh sinh(x)}/{@linkplain Math#cosh cosh(x)}. Note that the absolute value of the exact tanh is always less than 1. Special cases: If the argument is NaN, then the result is NaN. If the argument is zero, then the result is a zero with the same sign as the argument. If the argument is positive infinity, then the result is +1.0. If the argument is negative infinity, then the result is -1.0. param x The number whose hyperbolic tangent is to be returned. return The hyperbolic tangent of x. since 1.5
public static double	toDegrees(double angrad) Converts an angle measured in radians to an approximately equivalent angle measured in degrees. The conversion from radians to degrees is generally inexact; users should not expect cos(toRadians(90.0)) to exactly equal 0.0. param angrad an angle, in radians return the measurement of the angle angrad in degrees. return angrad * 180.0 / PI;
public static double	toRadians(double angdeg) Converts an angle measured in degrees to an approximately equivalent angle measured in radians. The conversion from degrees to radians is generally inexact. param angdeg an angle, in degrees return the measurement of the angle angdeg in radians. return angdeg / 180.0 * PI;
public static double	ulp(double d) Returns the size of an ulp of the argument. An ulp of a double value is the positive distance between this floating-point value and the double value next larger in magnitude. Note that for non-NaN x, ulp(-x) == ulp(x). Special Cases: If the argument is NaN, then the result is NaN. If the argument is positive or negative infinity, then the result is positive infinity. If the argument is positive or negative zero, then the result is Double.MIN_VALUE. If the argument is ±Double.MAX_VALUE, then the result is equal to 2971. param d the floating-point value whose ulp is to be returned return the size of an ulp of the argument author Joseph D. Darcy since 1.5 return sun.misc.FpUtils.ulp(d);
public static float	ulp(float f) Returns the size of an ulp of the argument. An ulp of a float value is the positive distance between this floating-point value and the float value next larger in magnitude. Note that for non-NaN x, ulp(-x) == ulp(x). Special Cases: If the argument is NaN, then the result is NaN. If the argument is positive or negative infinity, then the result is positive infinity. If the argument is positive or negative zero, then the result is Float.MIN_VALUE. If the argument is ±Float.MAX_VALUE, then the result is equal to 2104. param f the floating-point value whose ulp is to be returned return the size of an ulp of the argument author Joseph D.
