How do I calculate cube root and square root of a number?

By I Wayan Saryada in Core API, Math 0 Comment

To calculate the cube root and the square root of a double value we can use the Math.cbrt(double a) and Math.sqrt(double a) static method call.

package org.kodejava.math;

public class CubeSquareRootExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double cube = 125.0d;
        double square = 100.0d;

        // Get the cube root of double value
        double cubeRoot = Math.cbrt(cube);
        System.out.println("Cube root of " + cube + " is " + cubeRoot);

        // Get the square root of double value
        double squareRoot = Math.sqrt(square);
        System.out.println("Square root of " + square + " is " + squareRoot);
    }
}

This snippet will print the following output:

Cube root of 125.0 is 5.0
Square root of 100.0 is 10.0

How do I reread the content of a buffer?

By I Wayan Saryada in Core API, IO 0 Comment

The example shown below tells you how to reread the contents of a buffer. To reread the data from a buffer we can use the buffer’s rewind() method. This method set the position back to 0 while the limit is unchanged, it still holds the value of how many data can be read from the buffer.

package org.kodejava.io;

import java.nio.CharBuffer;

public class BufferRewind {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        CharBuffer buffer = CharBuffer.allocate(1024);
        buffer.put("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.");
        buffer.flip();

        // Read buffer's data using the get() method call.
        while (buffer.hasRemaining()) {
            System.out.print(buffer.get());
        }
        System.out.println();

        // Rewind the buffer will set the position back to 0.
        // We rewind the buffer so that we can reread the buffer
        // data for another purposes.
        buffer.rewind();

        // Reread the buffer and append its data to a StringBuilder
        StringBuilder bufferText = new StringBuilder();
        while (buffer.hasRemaining()) {
            bufferText.append(buffer.get());
        }
        System.out.println(bufferText);
    }
}

The output of the code snippet:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

How do I use trigonometric calculation methods?

By I Wayan Saryada in Core API, Math 0 Comment

This example demonstrates how to use the trigonometric methods of the java.lang.Math class. You can see the use of method such as Math.sin(), Math.cos(), Math.tan(), etc.

package org.kodejava.math;

public class TrigonometricExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double radians = 1.0d;

        double sine = Math.sin(radians);
        double cosine = Math.cos(radians);
        double tan = Math.tan(radians);

        double asine = Math.asin(sine);
        double acosine = Math.acos(cosine);
        double atan = Math.atan(tan);

        System.out.println("Sine of " + radians + " = " + sine);
        System.out.println("Cosine of " + radians + " = " + cosine);
        System.out.println("Tangent of " + radians + " = " + tan);
        System.out.println("Arcsine of " + sine + " = " + asine);
        System.out.println("Arccosine of " + cosine + " = " + acosine);
        System.out.println("Arctangent of " + tan + " = " + atan);
    }
}

The output of the program are:

Sine of 1.0 = 0.8414709848078965
Cosine of 1.0 = 0.5403023058681398
Tangent of 1.0 = 1.5574077246549023
Arcsine of 0.8414709848078965 = 1.0
Arccosine of 0.5403023058681398 = 1.0
Arctangent of 1.5574077246549023 = 1.0

How do I convert angle from radians to degrees?

By I Wayan Saryada in Core API, Math 0 Comment

The example below show you how to convert an angle measured in radians into degrees and vice versa. We can use the Math.toDegrees() and Math.toRadians() method call to do the conversion.

package org.kodejava.math;

public class RadiansDegreeConversionExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double radians = 1.0d;
        double degrees = 45d;

        // Converts an angle measured in radians to an
        // approximately equivalent angle measured in
        // degrees.
        double toDegree = Math.toDegrees(radians);

        // Converts an angle measured in degrees to an
        // approximately equivalent angle measured in
        // radians.
        double toRadians = Math.toRadians(degrees);

        System.out.println("Radians " + radians + " in degrees  = " + toDegree);
        System.out.println("Degrees " + degrees + " in radians = " + toRadians);
    }
}

The result of the snippet above are:

Radians 1.0 in degrees  = 57.29577951308232
Degrees 45.0 in radians = 0.7853981633974483

How do I get the PI value?

By I Wayan Saryada in Core API, Math 2 Comments

The number π is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, commonly approximated as 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter “π” since the mid-18th century, though it is also sometimes spelled out as “pi” (/paɪ/).

From: Wikipedia

The code snippet below show you how to obtain the PI value in Java. We use the Math.PI static field to get the value of PI.

package org.kodejava.math;

public class GetPiExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // The PI value represented by Math.PI
        System.out.println("PI = " + Math.PI);

        // Using the Math.PI to calculate area of a circle.
        double radius = 8;
        double circleArea = Math.PI * Math.pow(radius, 2);
        System.out.println("Circle Area = " + circleArea);
    }
}

Here is the program output:

PI = 3.141592653589793
Circle Area = 201.06192982974676
