Roots, Logarithms & Trigonometry
Function | Name | Behaviour |
sqrt() | Square Root | Returns the square root of a number (also √) |
cbrt() | Cube Root | Returns the cube root of a number |
sqrt(16) | 4cbrt(343) | 7square root of 81 | 9cube root of 27 | 3
root 5 of 100 | 2.5118864315
Function | Name | Behaviour |
exp() | Exponential | Calculates the value of e to the power of x, where e is the base of the natural logarithm. exp(1) returns Euler's number. |
ln() | Natural logarithm | The natural logarithm of a number is its logarithm to the base of the mathematical constant e. |
log2() | Base 2 logarithm | Calculate the base 2 logarithm of a value |
log(), log10() | Base 10 logarithm | Calculate the base 10 logarithm of a value |
log 20 base 4 | 2.1609640474
Function | Name |
sin() | Calculate the sine of a value |
sinh() | Calculate the hyperbolic sine of a value |
asin() | Calculate the inverse sine of a value |
asinh() | Calculate the hyperbolic arcsine of a value |
cos() | Calculate the cosine of a value |
cosh() | Calculate the hyperbolic cosine of a |
acos() | Calculate the inverse cosine of a value |
acosh() | Calculate the hyperbolic arccos of a value |
tan() | Calculate the tangent of a value |
tanh() | Calculate the hyperbolic tangent of a value |
atan() | Calculate the inverse tangent of a value |
atanh() | Calculate the hyperbolic arctangent of a value |
Trigonometric functions assume a value in radians by default. If you want to use degrees, specify this in the parameter:
sin(90 degrees) // 1.0
sin(90) // 0.8939966636
Function | Name | Behaviour |
abs() | Absolute value | Finds the absolute value of a number (i.e makes a negative number positive) |
pi or π | Pi | The number pi. I'm sure you've heard of it. |
