public final class StrictMath extends Object
StrictMath contains methods for performing basic numeric operations such as the elementary exponential, logarithm, square root, and trigonometric functions.
To help ensure portability of Java programs, the definitions of some of the numeric functions in this package require that they produce the same results as certain published algorithms. These algorithms are available from the well-known network library netlib as the package "Freely Distributable Math Library," fdlibm. These algorithms, which are written in the C programming language, are then to be understood as executed with all floating-point operations following the rules of Java floating-point arithmetic.
The Java math library is defined with respect to fdlibm version 5.3. Where fdlibm provides more than one definition for a function (such as acos), use the "IEEE 754 core function" version (residing in a file whose name begins with the letter e). The methods which require fdlibm semantics are sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, exp, log, log10, cbrt, atan2, pow, sinh, cosh, tanh, hypot, expm1, and log1p.
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 addExact, subtractExact, multiplyExact, and toIntExact throw an ArithmeticException when the results overflow. For other arithmetic operations such as divide, absolute value, increment, decrement, and negation overflow occurs only with a specific minimum or maximum value and should be checked against the minimum or maximum as appropriate.

public static double nextDown(double d)
d in the direction of negative infinity. This method is semantically equivalent to
nextAfter(d, Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY); however, a
nextDown implementation may run faster than its equivalent
nextAfter call.
Special Cases:
-Double.MIN_VALUE d - starting floating-point value
public static float nextDown(float f)
f in the direction of negative infinity. This method is semantically equivalent to
nextAfter(f, Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY); however, a
nextDown implementation may run faster than its equivalent
nextAfter call.
Special Cases:
-Float.MIN_VALUE f - starting floating-point value
public static double scalb(double d,
int scaleFactor)
d × 2
scaleFactor rounded as if performed by a single correctly rounded floating-point multiply to a member of the double value set. See the Java Language Specification for a discussion of floating-point value sets. If the exponent of the result is between
Double.MIN_EXPONENT and
Double.MAX_EXPONENT , the answer is calculated exactly. If the exponent of the result would be larger than
Double.MAX_EXPONENT, an infinity is returned. Note that if the result is subnormal, precision may be lost; that is, when
scalb(x, n) is subnormal,
scalb(scalb(x, n), -n) may not equal
x. When the result is non-NaN, the result has the same sign as
d.
Special cases:
d - number to be scaled by a power of two.
scaleFactor - power of 2 used to scale
d
d × 2
