According to basic geometry, hypotenuse is nothing but the longest side of a right-angled triangle. It is the side which is opposite to the right angle of the triangle. To find the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle, the Pythagorean theorem is applied. According to this theorem, given two perpendicular sides of a triangle of length p and b, the hypotenuse can be found by the formula .
The Java.lang.StrictMath.hypot() is an inbuilt method of StrictMath class which is used to get the hypotenuse or the square-root of summation of the square of given two sides or arguments i.e. . The method excludes all the intermediate overflow and underflow. It gives rise to few special results:
- The method returns positive infinity when either of num1 or num2 is infinite.
- It returns NAN when either any argument is NAN and neither argument is infinite.
Syntax:
public static double hypot(double num1, double num2)
Parameters: The method accepts two parameters of Double type:
- num1: This is the first value or any one side.
- num2: This is the second value or the other side.
Return Value: The method returns i.e. length of hypotenuse.
Examples :
Input: num1 = 3
num2 = 4
Output: 5.0
Below programs illustrate the Java.lang.StrictMath.hypot() Method:
Program 1:
java
import java.lang.*;
public class Geeks {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
double num1 = 11 , num2 = 13.8 ;
double hypotlen = StrictMath.hypot(num1, num2);
System.out.println("Length of hypotenuse of side "
+ num1 + " & " + num2 + " = " + hypotlen);
}
}
|
Output: Length of hypotenuse of side 11.0 & 13.8 = 17.647662734764623
Program 2:
java
import java.lang.*;
public class Geeks {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
double num1 = - 54 , num2 = - 24.8 ;
double hypotlen = StrictMath.hypot(num1, num2);
System.out.println("Length of hypotenuse of side "
+ num1 + " & " + num2 + " = " + hypotlen);
}
}
|
Output: Length of hypotenuse of side -54.0 & -24.8 = 59.422554640473
Program 3:
java
import java.lang.*;
public class Geeks {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
double num1 = 4 ;
double positive_Infinity = Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY;
double negative_Infinity = Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY;
double nan = Double.NaN;
double hypotlen = StrictMath.hypot(nan, num1);
System.out.println("Hypotenuse length = " + hypotlen);
hypotlen = StrictMath.hypot(positive_Infinity,
negative_Infinity);
System.out.println("Hypotenuse length = " + hypotlen);
}
}
|
Output: Hypotenuse length = NaN
Hypotenuse length = Infinity
