Java Math cos() Function

cos function in java

Java Math Class

Java Math class provides several methods to perform several operations on math calculations like max(), min(), sin(), cos(), round(), ceil(), floor(), abs() etc.
The java.lang.Math class contains various methods for performing basic numeric operations

Here, in the page we will discuss about the cos() Method in java.

Java cos Function :

Java Collection contains Math class and The class Math contains methods for performing basic and advance numeric operations such as the exponential, logarithm, square root, and trigonometric functions.

The cos Function of math class in Java returns the trigonometric cosine of the input angle. It is a static function so we can access it by using the Math class.

Syntax:

Math.cos(number);

Definition of Parameters:

Return Type :

Example :

Run
import java.util.*;

public class Main{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        // Initializing variables in Degree
        int a = 0;
        int b = 45;
        
        // Using cos Function
        double cosa = Math.cos(a);
        double cosb = Math.cos(b);
        
        // Printing Values of Variables
        System.out.println("Cos Value For angle a : " + cosa);
        System.out.println("Cos Value For angle b : " + cosb);
    }
}
Output:

Cos Value For angle a : 1.0
Cos Value For angle b : 0.5253219888177297

In the above Example, We had taken two variables with two different angles stored in them. we need to store the cos values of the given angles in variables of double data type.

Example:

Run
import java.util.*;

public class Main{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        // Initializing variables in Degree
        int a = 0;
        int b = 60;

        // converting variables to radians
        double radiana = Math.toRadians(a);
        double radianb = Math.toRadians(b);

        // printing cosine values
        System.out.println("Cos value of a : " + Math.cos(radiana));
        System.out.println("Cos value of b : " + Math.cos(radianb));
    }
}
Output:

Cos value of a : 1.0
Cos value of b : 0.5000000000000001

In the above Example, We had converted the given angle into radians because  as per the official documentation of Java, the cos() method takes the angle as radians.
