mathematics (Newbe)

Hello,

I'm practicing some java with Suns Netbeans IDE.

I tried to square (^2) two floats but the compiler complained about this
attempt.
So I want to find some DETAILED info about the use of mathematical functions
like squaring, square root, logarithm etc... and which types of variables
they 'eat'.
But I cannot find any info on Suns site.

Can someone recommend me a site with some useful info on mathematics and/or
algorithms?

thanks a lot in advance

best regards,

martin

Look at the api docs for the Math class:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/...lang/Math.html

In java, the ^ operator means XOR (exclusive-or, and not power.
Power can be achieved by Math.pow()

See:
