FloatMath

extends Object
java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.util.FloatMath

Class Overview

Math routines similar to those found in Math. Performs computations on float values directly without incurring the overhead of conversions to and from double.

On one platform, FloatMath.sqrt(100) executes in one third of the time required by java.lang.Math.sqrt(100).

Summary

Public Methods
static float ceil(float value)
Returns the float conversion of the most negative (i.e.
static float cos(float angle)
Returns the closest float approximation of the cosine of the argument.
static float floor(float value)
Returns the float conversion of the most positive (i.e.
static float sin(float angle)
Returns the closest float approximation of the sine of the argument.
static float sqrt(float value)
Returns the closest float approximation of the square root of the argument.

Public Methods

public static float ceil (float value)

Since: API Level 1

Returns the float conversion of the most negative (i.e. closest to negative infinity) integer value which is greater than the argument.

Parameters
value to be converted
Returns
  • the ceiling of value

public static float cos (float angle)

Since: API Level 1

Returns the closest float approximation of the cosine of the argument.

Parameters
angle to compute the cosine of, in radians
Returns
  • the cosine of angle

public static float floor (float value)

Since: API Level 1

Returns the float conversion of the most positive (i.e. closest to positive infinity) integer value which is less than the argument.

Parameters
value to be converted
Returns
  • the floor of value

public static float sin (float angle)

Since: API Level 1

Returns the closest float approximation of the sine of the argument.

Parameters
angle to compute the cosine of, in radians
Returns
  • the sine of angle

public static float sqrt (float value)

Since: API Level 1

Returns the closest float approximation of the square root of the argument.

Parameters
value to compute sqrt of
Returns
  • the square root of value
