Predict the output
Question 1
[Link]([Link](10.24));
Output
3.2
Explanation
[Link] method gives the square root of a positive number. Square root of 10.24 is 3.2 so it
is the output.
Question 2
[Link]([Link](-99.4));
Output
-99.0
Explanation
[Link] method rounds off its argument to the nearest mathematical integer and returns its
value as a double type. The nearest integer to -99.4 is -99.0 so that is the output. [Link]
method behaves in a particular way at the mid-point i.e. when the decimal part of the
argument is 0.5. In such cases, the result is the integer value that is even. Let's understand this
with an example. [Link](1.5) and [Link](2.5) will both return 2.0. In the case of 1.5,
both 1.0 and 2.0 are equally close to 1.5. [Link] choses the integer that is even so 2.0 is
returned. In the case of 2.5, both 2.0 and 3.0 are equally close to 2.5. [Link] again choses
the integer that is even so 2.0 is returned.
Question 3
[Link]([Link](42.875));
Output
3.5
Explanation
[Link] method returns the cube root of its argument as a double value. Cube root of
42.875 is 3.5 so it is the output.
Question 4
[Link]([Link](-25.5, -12.5));
Output
-25.5
Explanation
[Link] method returns the smaller of its 2 arguments. As -25.5 is smaller than -12.5 so it is
the output.
Question 5
[Link]([Link](-0.95));
Output
-0.0
Explanation
[Link] method returns the smallest double value that is greater than or equal to the
argument and is equal to a mathematical integer. If the argument value is less than zero but
greater than -1.0, then the result is negative zero which is the case in this question.
Question 6
[Link]([Link](-18.51));
Output
-19
Explanation
[Link] method rounds off its argument to the nearest mathematical integer and returns
its value as an int or long type. At the mid-point i.e. when the decimal part of the argument is
0.5, [Link] method rounds up to the higher integer. In this case, the nearest integer to -
18.51 is -19 so it is the output.
Question 7
[Link]([Link](-77.66, -87.45));
Output
-77.66
Explanation
[Link] method returns the greater of its 2 arguments. As -77.66 is greater than -87.45 so it
is the output.
Question 8
[Link]([Link](-0.88));
Output
-1.0
Explanation
[Link] method returns the largest double value that is less than or equal to the argument
and is equal to a mathematical integer. As -1.0 is the largest mathematical integer less than -
0.88 so it is the output.
Question 9
[Link]([Link](98.5));
Output
98.0
Explanation
[Link] method rounds off its argument to the nearest mathematical integer and returns its
value as a double type. This method behaves in a particular way at the mid-point i.e. when the
decimal part of the argument is 0.5. In such cases, the result is the integer value that is even.
Let's understand this with an example. [Link](97.5) and [Link](98.5) will both return
98.0. In the case of 97.5, both 97.0 and 98.0 are equally close to 97.5. [Link] choses the
integer that is even so 98.0 is returned. In the case of 98.5, both 98.0 and 99.0 are equally
close to 98.5. [Link] again choses the integer that is even so 98.0 is returned.
Question 10
[Link]([Link](65.5));
Output
66.0
Explanation
[Link] method returns the smallest double value that is greater than or equal to the
argument and is equal to a mathematical integer. Here 66.0 is the smallest mathematical
integer greater than 65.5 so it is the output.

Returns the natural logarithm of its argument. Both return type and argument is of
double data type.
Distinguish between them with suitable examples
Question 1
[Link]( ) and [Link]( )
Answer
[Link]( ) [Link]( )
Returns the smallest double value that is Returns the largest double value that is less
greater than or equal to the argument and is than or equal to the argument and is equal to
equal to a mathematical integer a mathematical integer.
double a = [Link](65.5); double b = [Link](65.5);
In this example, a will be assigned the value In this example, b will be assigned the value
of 66.0 as it is the smallest integer greater of 65.0 as it is the largest integer smaller than
than 65.5. 65.5.
Question 2
[Link]( ) and [Link]( )
Answer
[Link]( ) [Link]( )
Rounds off its argument to the nearest
Rounds off its argument to the nearest
mathematical integer and returns its value as an
mathematical integer and returns its value as a
int or long type. If argument is float, return type
double type.
is int, if argument is double, return type is long.
At mid-point, it returns the integer that is even At mid-point, it returns the higher integer.
long a = [Link](1.5);
double a = [Link](1.5);
long b = [Link](2.5);
double b =[Link](2.5);
a will have a value of 2 and b will have a value
Both, a and b will have a value of 2.0
of 3
