In the realm of Java programming, mathematics plays a pivotal role, empowering developers to perform a myriad of numerical operations with ease. At the heart of these capabilities lies the Java Math class, a treasure trove of methods designed to simplify complex calculations and unleash the full potential of numerical manipulation.

Math.max(x,y)

The Math.max(x,y) method can be used to find the highest value of x and y:

Math.max(5, 10);

Math.min(x,y)

The Math.min(x,y) method can be used to find the lowest value of x and y:

Math.min(5, 10);

Math.sqrt(x)

The Math.sqrt(x) method returns the square root of x:

Math.sqrt(64);

Math.abs(x)

The Math.abs(x) method returns the absolute (positive) value of x:

Math.abs(-4.7);

Random Numbers

Math.random() returns a random number between 0.0 (inclusive), and 1.0 (exclusive):

Math.random();

To get more control over the random number, for example, if you only want a random number between 0 and 100, you can use the following formula:

int randomNum = (int)(Math.random() * 101);  // 0 to 100

The Java Math class serves as an indispensable toolkit for developers navigating the intricate landscape of numerical computation. From basic arithmetic to advanced statistical analysis, its array of methods empowers programmers to tackle mathematical challenges with confidence and finesse, unlocking new possibilities in the realm of Java programming.
