Class Math
Unlike some of the numeric methods of class StrictMath, all implementations of the equivalent functions of class Math are not defined to return the bit-for-bit same results. This relaxation permits better-performing implementations where strict reproducibility is not required.
By default many of the Math methods simply call the equivalent method in StrictMath for their implementation. Code generators are encouraged to use platform-specific native libraries or microprocessor instructions, where available, to provide higher-performance implementations of Math methods. Such higher-performance implementations still must conform to the specification for Math.
The quality of implementation specifications concern two properties, accuracy of the returned result and monotonicity of the method. Accuracy of the floating-point Math methods is measured in terms of ulps, units in the last place. For a given floating-point format, an ulp of a specific real number value is the distance between the two floating-point values bracketing that numerical value. When discussing the accuracy of a method as a whole rather than at a specific argument, the number of ulps cited is for the worst-case error at any argument. If a method always has an error less than 0.5 ulps, the method always returns the floating-point number nearest the exact result; such a method is correctly rounded. A correctly rounded method is generally the best a floating-point approximation can be; however, it is impractical for many floating-point methods to be correctly rounded. Instead, for the Math class, a larger error bound of 1 or 2 ulps is allowed for certain methods. Informally, with a 1 ulp error bound, when the exact result is a representable number, the exact result should be returned as the computed result; otherwise, either of the two floating-point values which bracket the exact result may be returned. For exact results large in magnitude, one of the endpoints of the bracket may be infinite. Besides accuracy at individual arguments, maintaining proper relations between the method at different arguments is also important. Therefore, most methods with more than 0.5 ulp errors are required to be semi-monotonic: whenever the mathematical function is non-decreasing, so is the floating-point approximation, likewise, whenever the mathematical function is non-increasing, so is the floating-point approximation. Not all approximations that have 1 ulp accuracy will automatically meet the monotonicity requirements.
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.
IEEE 754 Recommended Operations
The 2019 revision of the IEEE 754 floating-point standard includes a section of recommended operations and the semantics of those operations if they are included in a programming environment. The recommended operations present in this class include sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, exp, expm1, log, log10, log1p, sinh, cosh, tanh, hypot, and pow. (The sqrt operation is a required part of IEEE 754 from a different section of the standard.) The special case behavior of the recommended operations generally follows the guidance of the IEEE 754 standard. However, the pow method defines different behavior for some arguments, as noted in its specification. The IEEE 754 standard defines its operations to be correctly rounded, which is a more stringent quality of implementation condition than required for most of the methods in question that are also included in this class.-

public static double pow(double a, double b)Returns the value of the first argument raised to the power of the second argument. Special cases:API Note: The special cases definitions of this method differ from the special case definitions of the IEEE 754 recommended pow operation for ±1.0 raised to an infinite power. This method treats such cases as indeterminate and specifies a NaN is returned. The IEEE 754 specification treats the infinite power as a large integer (large-magnitude floating-point numbers are numerically integers, specifically even integers) and therefore specifies 1.0 be returned. Parameters: a - the base. b - the exponent. Returns: the value ab.- If the second argument is positive or negative zero, then the result is 1.0.
- If the second argument is 1.0, then the result is the same as the first argument.
- If the second argument is NaN, then the result is NaN.
- If the first argument is NaN and the second argument is nonzero, then the result is NaN.
- If
- the absolute value of the first argument is greater than 1 and the second argument is positive infinity, or
- the absolute value of the first argument is less than 1 and the second argument is negative infinity,
- If
- the absolute value of the first argument is greater than 1 and the second argument is negative infinity, or
- the absolute value of the first argument is less than 1 and the second argument is positive infinity,
- If the absolute value of the first argument equals 1 and the second argument is infinite, then the result is NaN.
- If
- the first argument is positive zero and the second argument is greater than zero, or
- the first argument is positive infinity and the second argument is less than zero,
- If
- the first argument is positive zero and the second argument is less than zero, or
- the first argument is positive infinity and the second argument is greater than zero,
- If
- the first argument is negative zero and the second argument is greater than zero but not a finite odd integer, or
- the first argument is negative infinity and the second argument is less than zero but not a finite odd integer,
- If
- the first argument is negative zero and the second argument is a positive finite odd integer, or
- the first argument is negative infinity and the second argument is a negative finite odd integer,
- If
- the first argument is negative zero and the second argument is less than zero but not a finite odd integer, or
- the first argument is negative infinity and the second argument is greater than zero but not a finite odd integer,
- If
- the first argument is negative zero and the second argument is a negative finite odd integer, or
- the first argument is negative infinity and the second argument is a positive finite odd integer,
- If the first argument is finite and less than zero
- if the second argument is a finite even integer, the result is equal to the result of raising the absolute value of the first argument to the power of the second argument
- if the second argument is a finite odd integer, the result is equal to the negative of the result of raising the absolute value of the first argument to the power of the second argument
- if the second argument is finite and not an integer, then the result is NaN.
- If both arguments are integers, then the result is exactly equal to the mathematical result of raising the first argument to the power of the second argument if that result can in fact be represented exactly as a double value.
(In the foregoing descriptions, a floating-point value is considered to be an integer if and only if it is finite and a fixed point of the method ceil or, equivalently, a fixed point of the method floor. A value is a fixed point of a one-argument method if and only if the result of applying the method to the value is equal to the value.)
The computed result must be within 1 ulp of the exact result. Results must be semi-monotonic.

random
public static double random()Returns a double value with a positive sign, greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0. Returned values are chosen pseudorandomly with (approximately) uniform distribution from that range.API Note: As the largest double value less than 1.0 is Math.nextDown(1.0), a value x in the closed range [x1,x2] where x1<=x2 may be defined by the statements double f = Math.random()/Math.nextDown(1.0); double x = x1*(1.0 - f) + x2*f; Returns: a pseudorandom double greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0. See Also:When this method is first called, it creates a single new pseudorandom-number generator, exactly as if by the expression new java.util.Random() This new pseudorandom-number generator is used thereafter for all calls to this method and is used nowhere else.
This method is properly synchronized to allow correct use by more than one thread. However, if many threads need to generate pseudorandom numbers at a great rate, it may reduce contention for each thread to have its own pseudorandom-number generator.
