C++ Math
C++ Math
C++ has many functions that allow you to perform mathematical tasks on numbers.
Max and min
The max(x,y) function can be used to find the highest value of x and y.
And the min(x,y) function can be used to find the lowest value of x and y:
Example
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;int main() {
cout << max(5, 10);
cout << "\n";
cout << min(5, 10);
return 0;
}
Output:
10
5
C++ <cmath> Header
Other functions, such as sqrt (square root), round (rounds a number) and log (natural logarithm), can be found in the <cmath> header file.
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;int main() {
cout << sqrt(81) << "\n";
cout << round(3.6) << "\n";
cout << log(2) << "\n";
return 0;
}
Output:
9
4
0.693147

| fabs(x) | Returns the absolute value of a floating x |
| fdim(x, y) | Returns the positive difference between x and y |
| floor(x) | Returns the value of x rounded down to its nearest integer |
| hypot(x, y) | Returns sqrt(x2 +y2) without intermediate overflow or underflow |
| fma(x, y, z) | Returns x*y+z without losing precision |
| fmax(x, y) | Returns the highest value of a floating x and y |
| fmin(x, y) | Returns the lowest value of a floating x and y |
| fmod(x, y) | Returns the floating point remainder of x/y |
| pow(x, y) | Returns the value of x to the power of y |
