Java Math class

Math class—a magical toolbox filled with powerful mathematical functions and constants. Whether you need to perform basic arithmetic, compute trigonometric functions, or generate random numbers, the Math class has got your back!

Some of features in the Math class has to offer:

Basic Arithmetic: Need to add, subtract, multiply, or divide numbers? The Math class has you covered with methods like add, subtract, multiply, and divide.
Trigonometry: Want to calculate sine, cosine, or tangent values? Just summon the sin, cos, and tan methods from the Math class, and you're ready to solve any triangle mystery!
Exponential and Logarithmic Functions: Need to raise a number to a power or find its logarithm? Look no further than the pow and log methods of the Math class.
Constants: Want to use common mathematical constants like π (pi) or e (Euler's number)? The Math class provides constants like PI and E for your convenience.
Random Numbers: Feeling lucky? Use the random method to generate random numbers between 0 and 1, and let chance guide your adventures!

Now, let's sprinkle some magic into our Java code with the Math class:

java

public class MathMagic {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double radius = 5;
        double area = Math.PI * Math.pow(radius, 2);
        System.out.println("The area of the circle is: " + area);
        
        double angle = 45;
        double radians = Math.toRadians(angle);
        double sinValue = Math.sin(radians);
        System.out.println("The sine of 45 degrees is: " + sinValue);
        
        int randomNumber = (int) (Math.random() * 100);
        System.out.println("A random number between 0 and 100 is: " + randomNumber);
    }
}

In this magical incantation, we calculate the area of a circle, find the sine of an angle, and generate a random number—all thanks to the mystical powers of the Math class!
