A collection of useful mathematical functions.
Methods
abs(value) |
Calculates the absolute value or magnitude of a number. |
acos(value) |
Returns the arc cosine of the value provided in radians. |
asin(value) |
Returns the arc sine of the value provided in radians. |
atan(value) |
Returns the arc tangent of the value provided in radians. |
atan2(x,y) |
Returns the arc tangent of y/x, using the signs of the arguments to compute the quadrant of the return value. |
ceil(value) |
Returns the smallest integer no less than the value. |
cos(value) |
Returns the cosine of the value, where the value is an angle expressed in radians. |
exp(value) |
Returns e (2.7182818) raised to the 'value'th power. |
floor(value) |
Returns the largest integer no greater than the value. |
log(value) |
Returns the natural logarithm of the value. |
max(value1,value2,value3...) |
Returns the maximum value of any number of arguments. |
min(value1,value2,value3...) |
Returns the minimum value of any number of arguments. |
pow(x,y) |
Returns x raised to the y power. |
random([seed]) |
Returns a random floating point number between 0 and 1. |
round(value) |
Returns the value rounded to the nearest integer. |
sin(valuue) |
Returns the sine of the value, where the value is an angle expressed in radians. |
sqrt(value) |
Returns the square root of the value. |
tan(value) |
Returns the tangent of the value, where the value is an angle expressed in radians. |
Examples
var mynumber=-10;
var mag=Math.abs(mynumber);
print("Magnitude of "+mynumber+" is "+mag);
...which prints... "Magnitude of -10 is 10"
