Assignment Questions
Question 1
Distinguish between Math.ceil() and Math.floor() methods.
Answer
Math.ceil( ) Math.floor( )
Returns the smallest double value that is greater Returns the largest double value that is less
than or equal to the argument and is equal to a than or equal to the argument and is equal to a
mathematical integer mathematical integer.
Math.ceil( ) Math.floor( )
double a = Math.ceil(65.5); double b = Math.floor(65.5);
In this example, a will be assigned the value of In this example, b will be assigned the value of
66.0 as it is the smallest integer greater than 65.0 as it is the largest integer smaller than
65.5. 65.5.
Question 2
Explain the following Math functions in Java:
i. Math.sqrt()
Answer
Returns the square root of its argument as a double value. For example, Math.sqrt(25) will return 5.0.
ii. Math.cbrt()
Answer
Returns the cube root of its argument as a double value. For example, Math.cbrt(27) will return 3.0.
iii. Math.random()
Answer
Returns a positive double value, greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0.
iv. Math.round()
Answer
Rounds off its argument to the nearest mathematical integer and returns its value as an int or long type. If
argument is float, return type is int, if argument is double, return type is long. At mid-point, it returns the
higher integer. For example, Math.round(2.5) will return 3.
Question 3
Write the following as Java expressions:
i. \lvert x^3 - y^2 -2xy\rvert ∣x3−y2−2xy∣
Answer
Math.abs(Math.pow(x, 3) - Math.pow(y, 2) - 2*x*y)
ii. \dfrac{\pi}{6}(z^4 - 2\pi) 6π(z4−2π)
Answer
Math.PI / 6*(Math.pow(z, 4) - 2*Math.PI)
iii. \sqrt[3]{z^2 - \pi} 3z2−π
Answer
Math.cbrt(z*z - Math.PI)
iv. \sqrt[4]{x^3 - y^3} 4x3−y3
Answer
Math.pow(x*x*x - y*y*y, 1/4)
v. \cfrac{amount*rate}{1 - \cfrac{1}{(1 + rate)^n}} 1−(1+rate)n1amount∗rate
Answer
(amount*rate) / (1 - (1 / Math.pow(1+rate, n)))
Question 4
Write valid statements for the following in Java:
i. Print the rounded off value of 234.49
Answer
System.out.println(Math.round(234.49));
ii. Print the absolute value of -9.99
Answer
System.out.println(Math.abs(-9.99));
iii. Print the largest of -45 and -50
Answer
System.out.println(Math.max(-45, -50));
iv. Print the smallest of -56 and -57.4
Answer
System.out.println(Math.min(-56, -57.4));
v. Print a random integer between 50 and 70
Answer
int range = 70 - 50 + 1;
int num = (int)(range * Math.random() + 50);
System.out.println(num);
vi. Print 10.5 raised to the power 3.8
Answer
System.out.println(Math.pow(10.5, 3.8));
Question 5
Write a program in Java to find the minimum of three numbers using Math.min() method.
Answer
import java.util.Scanner;
public class KboatSmallestNumber
{
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter First Number: ");
int a = in.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter Second Number: ");
int b = in.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter Third Number: ");
int c = in.nextInt();
int s = Math.min(a, b);
s = Math.min(s, c);
System.out.println("Smallest Number = " + s);
}
}
Output
Question 6

i. p to the power q
ii. the square root of p
The values of p and q are 64 and 2 respectively.
Answer
public class KboatNumber
{
public static void main(String args[]) {
int p = 64;
int q = 2;
double r1 = Math.pow(p, q);
System.out.println("p to the power of q = " + r1);
