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 to be transliterated into Java and executed
with all floating-point and integer operations following the rules
of Java arithmetic. The following transformations are used in the
transliteration:
double in C is expressed using Java platform methods that
perform bit-wise conversions from double to long and long
to double.
int values in C are mapped to signed int values in Java with updates to operations to replicate
unsigned semantics where the results on the same textual operation
would differ. For example, >> shifts on unsigned C values
are replaced with >>> shifts on signed Java values. Sized
comparisons on unsigned C values (<, <=, >,
>=) are replaced with semantically equivalent calls to
compareUnsigned.
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 whose names end with
Exact throw an ArithmeticException when the results overflow.
Math class discusses how the shared
quality of implementation criteria for selected Math and
StrictMath methods relate to the IEEE 754
recommended operations.
