The most common JavaScript Math Functions
What is a Math function in JavaScript?
Well, first of all, it is not a function. According to MDN documentation, Math is is a built-in object that has properties and methods for mathematical constants and functions. It works with the Number data type and allows you to perform a vast range of mathematical tasks.
In this blog, I’ll make a top 8 of the most common and useful Math functions.
1.Math.round(x) — returns the value of x rounded to its nearest integer:
Math.round(7.7); // returns 8
Math.round(7.3); // returns 7
2. Math.pow(x, y) returns the value of x to the power of y:
Math.pow(8, 2); // returns 64
3. Math.sqrt(x) returns the square root of x:
Math.sqrt(49); // returns 7
4. Math.abc(x) returns the absolute value of x:
Math.abs(-2); // returns 2
5. Math.ceil(x) returns the value of x rounded up to its nearest integer:
Math.ceil(3.4); // returns 4
6. Math.floor(x) returns the value of x rounded down to its nearest integer:
Math.floor(3.4); // returns 3
7. Math.min() and Math.max() are used to find the lowest or highest value in a list of arguments
Math.min(0, 150, 30, 20, -8, -200); // returns -200
8. Math.random() returns a random number between 0 (inclusive), and 1 (exclusive):
Math.random(); // returns a random number
