JavaScript Math
The JavaScript Math object provides a set of built-in functions for performing mathematical operations. The Math object is not a constructor, so you don’t need to use the new keyword to create an instance of it. You can use the methods and properties of the Math object directly, like this:
JavaScript
console.log(Math.PI); // Output: 3.141592653589793
console.log(Math.abs(-10)); // Output: 10
console.log(Math.ceil(3.14)); // Output: 4
console.log(Math.floor(3.14)); // Output: 3
console.log(Math.max(1, 2, 3)); // Output: 3
console.log(Math.min(1, 2, 3)); // Output: 1
console.log(Math.pow(2, 3)); // Output: 8
console.log(Math.random()); // Output: a random number between 0 and 1
console.log(Math.round(3.5)); // Output: 4
console.log(Math.sqrt(16)); // Output: 4Here is a brief explanation of some of the most commonly used methods of the Math object:
Math.PI: Returns the value of pi (3.141592653589793).Math.abs(x): Returns the absolute value ofx.Math.ceil(x): Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal tox.Math.floor(x): Returns the largest integer less than or equal tox.Math.max(x1, x2, ..., xn): Returns the largest of the specified values.Math.min(x1, x2, ..., xn): Returns the smallest of the specified values.Math.pow(x, y): Returnsxraised to the power ofy.Math.random(): Returns a random number between 0 and 1 (exclusive).Math.round(x): Returns the value ofxrounded to the nearest integer.Math.sqrt(x): Returns the square root ofx.
There are many other methods and properties available on the Math object. You can find more information on the Math object in the JavaScript documentation.
