JavaScript Math Object

The JavaScript Math object allows you to perform mathematical tasks.

All JavaScript methods/properties of Math can be called by using Math as an object (without creating it).

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<p><b>Math.PI returns PI:</b></p>
<p id="piExample"></p>

<p><b>Math.sqrt(16) returns the square root of 16:</b></p>
<p id="sqrtExample"></p>

<script>
var x = Math.PI;
var y = Math.sqrt(10);

document.getElementById("piExample").innerHTML = x;
document.getElementById("sqrtExample").innerHTML = y;
</script>

</body>
</html>

Output:

Math.PI returns PI:
