## Class StrictMath

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.StrictMath

-     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 `addExact`, `subtractExact`, `multiplyExact`, and `toIntExact` throw an `ArithmeticException` when the results overflow. For other arithmetic operations such as divide, absolute value, increment, decrement, and negation overflow occurs only with a specific minimum or maximum value and should be checked against the minimum or maximum as appropriate.

        - if the second argument is a finite even integer, the result is equal to the result of raising the absolute value of the first argument to the power of the second argument
        - if the second argument is a finite odd integer, the result is equal to the negative of the result of raising the absolute value of the first argument to the power of the second argument
        - if the second argument is finite and not an integer, then the result is NaN.
      - 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.)

        `a` - base.
        `b` - the exponent.
      Returns:
        the value `a``b`.

    - #### random

          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.

      When this method is first called, it creates a single new pseudorandom-number generator, exactly as if by the expression

      > `new java.util.Random()`

      This new pseudorandom-number generator is used thereafter for all calls to this method and is used nowhere else.

      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.

      Returns:
        a pseudorandom `double` greater than or equal to `0.0` and less than `1.0`.

        `Random.nextDouble()`

      Special cases:

      - If the argument is NaN, then the result is NaN.
      - If the argument is infinite, then the result is positive infinity.
      - If the argument is zero, then the result is `1.0`.
      Parameters:
        `x` - The number whose hyperbolic cosine is to be returned.
      Returns:
        The hyperbolic cosine of `x`.
      Since:
        1.5

    - #### tanh

          public static 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, sinh(x)/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`.

      Returns sqrt(x2 +y2) without intermediate overflow or underflow.

      Special cases:

      - If either argument is infinite, then the result is positive infinity.

      Special cases:

      - If the argument is NaN, the result is NaN.
      - If the argument is positive infinity, then the result is positive infinity.
      - If the argument is negative infinity, then the result is -1.0.
      - If the argument is zero, then the result is a zero with the same sign as the argument.
      Parameters:
        `x` - the exponent to raise e to in the computation of e`x` -1.
      Returns:
        the value e`x` - 1.

    - #### log1p

          public static double log1p(double x)

      Returns the natural logarithm of the sum of the argument and 1. Note that for small values `x`, the result of `log1p(x)` is much closer to the true result of ln(1 + `x`) than the floating-point evaluation of `log(1.0+x)`.

      Special cases:

      - If the argument is NaN or less than -1, then the result is NaN.
      - If the argument is positive infinity, then the result is positive infinity.
      - If the argument is negative one, then the result is negative infinity.

                                         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 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.

    - #### 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 to a member of the double value set. See the Java Language Specification for a discussion of floating-point value sets.

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.
