JavaScript Math Object

Math Object

The Math object allows you to perform mathematical tasks.

Math is not a constructor. All properties/methods of Math can be called by using Math as an object, without creating it.

Syntax

var x = Math.PI; // Returns PI
var y = Math.sqrt(16); // Returns the square root of 16

For a tutorial about the Math object, read our JavaScript Math Object tutorial.
