Overview

Mathematical operations. It includes mathematical functions such as Math.abs, Math.pow, Math.ceil, Math.random, Math.sqrt, and Math.round

abs

Returns the absolute value of x

Math.abs(x)

Parameter	Type	Description
x	Integer or Double	Number to calculate absolute value

Return Value

Type Integer or Double Absolute value of number x

Examples

Math.abs(-100.3) //100.3

pow

Returns d1 raised to the power of d2

Math.pow(d1, d2)

Parameter	Type	Description
d1	Integer or Double	Number to calculate the power of
d2	Integer or Double	Exponent

Return Value

Type Double Number d1 raised to the power of d2

Examples

Math.pow(2, 3) //8.0

ceil

Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to x

Math.ceil(x)

Parameter	Type	Description
x	Double	Number to compare

Return Value

Type Double The smallest integer greater than or equal to x

TIP

• Note that the return type of the function is a decimal

Examples

Math.ceil(2.2) //3.0

floor

Returns the largest integer less than or equal to x

Math.floor(x)
