Your Complete Guide To Math Object in Javascript

Hi everybody, I'm Aya Bouchiha, and this is your complete guide to Math object in Javascript!

Math Object

Firstly, we need to know that Math is a built-in object, It works with Number type and not with BigInt. In addition, It is not a constructor. All its properties and its methods are static.

Math.floor()

Math.floor(number) : rounds a number down and returns an integer value.

/* rounds a number down  */
console.log(Math.floor(2.4)) // 2
console.log(Math.floor(1.999999)) // 1
console.log(Math.floor(10.5)) // 10

Math.ceil()

Math.ceil(number) : rounds a number up to the next largest integer.

/* rounds a number up to the next largest integer  */
console.log(Math.ceil(0.000000000000000001)) // 1
console.log(Math.ceil(0) )// 0
console.log(Math.ceil(10.5)) // 11
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Math.random()

Math.random() : returns a random number where 0 <= Math.random() < 1

/* get a random number n where 0 <= n < 1 */
console.log(Math.random()) //  0.3594237846698176

// Returns a random integer from 0 to 50:
console.log(Math.floor(Math.random() * 50)) // 43
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Math.round()

Math.round(number) : rounds to the nearest integer

/* rounds to the nearest integer  */
console.log(Math.round(0.2)) // 0
console.log(Math.round(10.5)) // 11
console.log(Math.round(1.9) )// 2
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Math.trunc()

Math.trunc(number) : returns the integer part of a number by removing any fractional digits.

/*  get the integer part of a number */
console.log(Math.trunc(1.000000001)) // 1
console.log(Math.trunc(10.5)) // 10
console.log(Math.trunc(4.999999)) // 4
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Math.sign()

Math.sign(number) :indicate the sign of a numeber. If the num is:

  • negative : returns -1
  • 0 : returns 0
  • positive : returns 1
/*  get the sign of a number  */
console.log(Math.sign(-4.5)) // -1
console.log(Math.sign(0)) // 0
console.log(Math.sign(10)) // 1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Math.pow()

Math.pow(base, exponent) : returns baseexponent.

/*  get the value of a num1 to the power of a num2  */
console.log(Math.pow(2,3)) // 8
console.log(Math.pow(1,10)) // 1
console.log(Math.pow(10,3)) // 1000
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Math.sqrt()

Math.sqrt(num) : returns the square root of a number.

/*  get  the square root of a number. */
console.log(Math.sqrt(16)) // 4
console.log(Math.sqrt(100)) // 10
console.log(Math.sqrt(25)) // 5
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Math.cbrt()

Math.cbrt(num) : returns the cubic root of a number.

/*  get  the cubic root of a number. */
console.log(Math.cbrt(8)) // 2
console.log(Math.cbrt(27)) // 3
console.log(Math.cbrt(64)) // 4
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Math.log2()

Math.log2(num) : returns the base 2 logarithm of a number,

/*  get  the base 2 logarithm of a number */
console.log(Math.log2(2)) // 1
console.log(Math.log2(8)) // 3
console.log(Math.log2(16)) // 4
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Math.min()

Math.min(n1, n2, n3, ..) : returns The smallest number of the given numbers. If one of the giving arguments is not a number It returns NaN, and Infinity if no arguments are passed.

/*  get  the smallest of the given numbers. */
console.log(Math.min(2, 4, 6, 8)) // 2
console.log(Math.min(...[20, 10, 100, 70])) // 10
console.log(Math.min(7, "Aya", "Bouchiha", 3)) // NaN
console.log(Math.min()) // Infinity
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Math.max()

Math.max(n1, n2, n3, ..) : returns The biggest number of the given numbers. If one of the giving arguments is not a number it returns NaN, and -Infinity if no arguments are passed.

/*  get  the biggest num of the given numbers. */
console.log(Math.max(2, 4, 6, 8)) // 8
console.log(Math.max(...[20, 10, 100, 70])) // 100
console.log(Math.max(7, "Aya", "Bouchiha", 3)) // NaN
console.log(Math.max()) // -Infinity

Math.abs()

Math.abs(num) : returns the absolute value of the giving number. This method can accept also numeric strings like '-1' .

  • It returns NaN if the giving argument is not a number or is not a numeric-string, or It is undefined or empty .
  • It returns 0 if the argument is null , [] , '' or ""
/*  get  the absolute value of the given number */
console.log(Math.abs(-2)) // 2

(radians), in addition, it is between -1 & 1.

/*  get  the sine of an angle(radians) */
console.log(Math.sin(2)) // 0.9092974268256817
console.log(Math.sin(1)) // 0.8414709848078965
console.log(Math.sin()) // NaN
console.log(Math.sin('')) // 0
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Math.cos()

Math.cos(angleInRadians) : returns the cosine of a giving angle
(radians), in addition, it is between -1 & 1.

/*  get  the cosine of an angle(radians) */
