# Class Math

java.lang.Math

public final class Math extends Object
The class `Math` contains methods for performing basic numeric operations such as the elementary exponential, logarithm, square root, and trigonometric functions.

Unlike some of the numeric methods of class `StrictMath`, all implementations of the equivalent functions of class `Math` are not defined to return the bit-for-bit same results. This relaxation permits better-performing implementations where strict reproducibility is not required.

By default many of the `Math` methods simply call the equivalent method in `StrictMath` for their implementation. Code generators are encouraged to use platform-specific native libraries or microprocessor instructions, where available, to provide higher-performance implementations of `Math` methods. Such higher-performance implementations still must conform to the specification for `Math`.

The quality of implementation specifications concern two properties, accuracy of the returned result and monotonicity of the method. Accuracy of the floating-point `Math` methods is measured in terms of ulps, units in the last place. For a given floating-point format, an ulp of a specific real number value is the distance between the two floating-point values bracketing that numerical value. When discussing the accuracy of a method as a whole rather than at a specific argument, the number of ulps cited is for the worst-case error at any argument. If a method always has an error less than 0.5 ulps, the method always returns the floating-point number nearest the exact result; such a method is correctly rounded. A correctly rounded method is generally the best a floating-point approximation can be; however, it is impractical for many floating-point methods to be correctly rounded. Instead, for the `Math` class, a larger error bound of 1 or 2 ulps is allowed for certain methods. Informally, with a 1 ulp error bound, when the exact result is a representable number, the exact result should be returned as the computed result; otherwise, either of the two floating-point values which bracket the exact result may be returned. For exact results large in magnitude, one of the endpoints of the bracket may be infinite. Besides accuracy at individual arguments, maintaining proper relations between the method at different arguments is also important. Therefore, most methods with more than 0.5 ulp errors are required to be semi-monotonic: whenever the mathematical function is non-decreasing, so is the floating-point approximation, likewise, whenever the mathematical function is non-increasing, so is the floating-point approximation. Not all approximations that have 1 ulp accuracy will automatically meet the monotonicity requirements.

The platform uses signed two's complement integer arithmetic with `int` and `long` primitive types. The developer should choose the primitive type to ensure that arithmetic operations consistently produce correct results, which in some cases means the operations will not overflow the range of values of the computation. The best practice is to choose the primitive type and algorithm to avoid overflow. In cases where the size is `int` or `long` and overflow errors need to be detected, the methods whose names end with `Exact` throw an `ArithmeticException` when the results overflow.

## IEEE 754 Recommended Operations

The 2019 revision of the IEEE 754 floating-point standard includes a section of recommended operations and the semantics of those operations if they are included in a programming environment. The recommended operations present in this class include `sin`, `cos`, `tan`, `asin`, `acos`, `atan`, `exp`, `expm1`, `log`, `log10`, `log1p`, `sinh`, `cosh`, `tanh`, `hypot`, and `pow`. (The `sqrt` operation is a required part of IEEE 754 from a different section of the standard.) The special case behavior of the recommended operations generally follows the guidance of the IEEE 754 standard. However, the `pow` method defines different behavior for some arguments, as noted in its specification. The IEEE 754 standard defines its operations to be correctly rounded, which is a more stringent quality of implementation condition than required for most of the methods in question that are also included in this class.

- If the first argument is positive zero and the second argument is positive, or the first argument is positive and finite and the second argument is positive infinity, then the result is positive zero.
- If the first argument is negative zero and the second argument is positive, or the first argument is negative and finite and the second argument is positive infinity, then the result is negative zero.
- If the first argument is positive zero and the second argument is negative, or the first argument is positive and finite and the second argument is negative infinity, then the result is the `double` value closest to pi.
- If the first argument is negative zero and the second argument is negative, or the first argument is negative and finite and the second argument is negative infinity, then the result is the `double` value closest to -pi.
- If the first argument is positive and the second argument is positive zero or negative zero, or the first argument is positive infinity and the second argument is finite, then the result is the `double` value closest to pi/2.
- If the first argument is negative and the second argument is positive zero or negative zero, or the first argument is negative infinity and the second argument is finite, then the result is the `double` value closest to -pi/2.
- If both arguments are positive infinity, then the result is the `double` value closest to pi/4.
- If the first argument is positive infinity and the second argument is negative infinity, then the result is the `double` value closest to 3*pi/4.
- If the first argument is negative infinity and the second argument is positive infinity, then the result is the `double` value closest to -pi/4.
- If both arguments are negative infinity, then the result is the `double` value closest to -3*pi/4.

The computed result must be within 2 ulps of the exact result. Results must be semi-monotonic.

API Note:
  For y with a positive sign and finite nonzero x, the exact mathematical value of `atan2` is equal to:
  - If x > 0, atan(abs(y/x))
  - If x < 0, π - atan(abs(y/x))

  `y` - the ordinate coordinate
  `x` - the abscissa coordinate
Returns:
  the theta component of the point (r, theta) in polar coordinates that corresponds to the point (x, y) in Cartesian coordinates.

### pow

Returns the value of the first argument raised to the power of the second argument. Special cases:

- If the second argument is positive or negative zero, then the result is 1.0.
- If the second argument is 1.0, then the result is the same as the first argument.
- If the second argument is NaN, then the result is NaN.
- If the first argument is NaN and the second argument is nonzero, then the result is NaN.
- If
  - the absolute value of the first argument is greater than 1 and the second argument is positive infinity, or
  - the absolute value of the first argument is less than 1 and the second argument is negative infinity,
  then the result is positive infinity.
- If
  - the absolute value of the first argument is greater than 1 and the second argument is negative infinity, or
  - the absolute value of the first argument is less than 1 and the second argument is positive infinity,
  then the result is positive zero.
- If the absolute value of the first argument equals 1 and the second argument is infinite, then the result is NaN.
- If
  - the first argument is positive zero and the second argument is greater than zero, or
  - the first argument is positive infinity and the second argument is less than zero,
  then the result is positive zero.
- If
  - the first argument is positive zero and the second argument is less than zero, or
  - the first argument is positive infinity and the second argument is greater than zero,
  then the result is positive infinity.
- If
  - the first argument is negative zero and the second argument is greater than zero but not a finite odd integer, or
  - the first argument is negative infinity and the second argument is less than zero but not a finite odd integer,
  then the result is positive zero.

  - the first argument is negative zero and the second argument is a positive finite odd integer, or
  - the first argument is negative infinity and the second argument is a negative finite odd integer,
  then the result is negative zero.
- If
  - the first argument is negative zero and the second argument is less than zero but not a finite odd integer, or
  - the first argument is negative infinity and the second argument is greater than zero but not a finite odd integer,
  then the result is positive infinity.
- If
  - the first argument is negative zero and the second argument is a negative finite odd integer, or
  - the first argument is negative infinity and the second argument is a positive finite odd integer,
  then the result is negative infinity.
- If the first argument is finite and less than zero
  - if the second argument is a finite even integer, the result is equal to the result of raising the absolute value of the first argument to the power of the second argument
  - if the second argument is a finite odd integer, the result is equal to the negative of the result of raising the absolute value of the first argument to the power of the second argument
  - if the second argument is finite and not an integer, then the result is NaN.
- If both arguments are integers, then the result is exactly equal to the mathematical result of raising the first argument to the power of the second argument if that result can in fact be represented exactly as a `double` value.

(In the foregoing descriptions, a floating-point value is considered to be an integer if and only if it is finite and a fixed point of the method `ceil` or, equivalently, a fixed point of the method `floor`. A value is a fixed point of a one-argument method if and only if the result of applying the method to the value is equal to the value.)

The computed result must be within 1 ulp of the exact result. Results must be semi-monotonic.

API Note:
  The special cases definitions of this method differ from the special case definitions of the IEEE 754 recommended `pow` operation for ±`1.0` raised to an infinite power. This method treats such cases as indeterminate and specifies a NaN is returned. The IEEE 754 specification treats the infinite power as a large integer (large-magnitude floating-point numbers are numerically integers, specifically even integers) and therefore specifies `1.0` be returned.
Parameters:
  `a` - the base.
  `b` - the exponent.
Returns:
  the value `a``b`.

### round

public static int round(float a)
Returns the closest `int` to the argument, with ties rounding to positive infinity.

- If the argument is positive infinity or any value greater than or equal to the value of `Integer.MAX_VALUE`, the result is equal to the value of `Integer.MAX_VALUE`.

Parameters:
  `a` - a floating-point value to be rounded to an integer.
Returns:
  the value of the argument rounded to the nearest `int` value.
See Also:
  - `Integer.MAX_VALUE`
  - `Integer.MIN_VALUE`

### round

public static long round(double a)

Special cases:

- If the argument is NaN, the result is 0.

- If the argument is positive infinity or any value greater than or equal to the value of `Long.MAX_VALUE`, the result is equal to the value of `Long.MAX_VALUE`.

  `a` - a floating-point value to be rounded to a `long`.

See Also:
  - `Long.MAX_VALUE`
  - `Long.MIN_VALUE`

### random

public static double random()
Returns a `double` value with a positive sign, greater than or equal to `0.0` and less than `1.0`. Returned values are chosen pseudorandomly with (approximately) uniform distribution from that range.

When this method is first called, it creates a single new pseudorandom-number generator, exactly as if by the expression

> `new java.util.Random()`

This new pseudorandom-number generator is used thereafter for all calls to this method and is used nowhere else.

This method is properly synchronized to allow correct use by more than one thread. However, if many threads need to generate pseudorandom numbers at a great rate, it may reduce contention for each thread to have its own pseudorandom-number generator.

API Note:
  As the largest `double` value less than `1.0` is `Math.nextDown(1.0)`, a value `x` in the closed range `[x1,x2]` where `x1<=x2` may be defined by the statements

  >     double f = Math.random()/Math.nextDown(1.0);
  >     double x = x1*(1.0 - f) + x2*f;

Returns:
  a pseudorandom `double` greater than or equal to `0.0` and less than `1.0`.

  - `nextDown(double)`
  - `Random.nextDouble()`

### floorDiv

public static int floorDiv(int x, int y)
Returns the largest (closest to positive infinity) `int` value that is less than or equal to the algebraic quotient. There is one special case: if the dividend is Integer.MIN_VALUE and the divisor is `-1`, then integer overflow occurs and the result is equal to `Integer.MIN_VALUE`.

Normal integer division operates under the round to zero rounding mode (truncation). This operation instead acts under the round toward negative infinity (floor) rounding mode. The floor rounding mode gives different results from truncation when the exact quotient is not an integer and is negative.

- If the signs of the arguments are the same, the results of `floorDiv` and the `/` operator are the same.
  For example, `floorDiv(4, 3) == 1` and `(4 / 3) == 1`.
- If the signs of the arguments are different, `floorDiv` returns the largest integer less than or equal to the quotient while the `/` operator returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to the quotient. They differ if and only if the quotient is not an integer.
  For example, `floorDiv(-4, 3) == -2`, whereas `(-4 / 3) == -1`.

Parameters:
  `x` - the dividend
  `y` - the divisor
Returns:
  the largest (closest to positive infinity) `int` value that is less than or equal to the algebraic quotient.

### floorMod

public static int floorMod(int x, int y)

The floor modulus is `r = x - (floorDiv(x, y) * y)`, has the same sign as the divisor `y` or is zero, and is in the range of `-abs(y) < r < +abs(y)`.

The relationship between `floorDiv` and `floorMod` is such that:

- `floorDiv(x, y) * y + floorMod(x, y) == x`

The difference in values between `floorMod` and the `%` operator is due to the difference between `floorDiv` and the `/` operator, as detailed in floorDiv(int, int).

Examples:

- Regardless of the signs of the arguments, `floorMod`(x, y) is zero exactly when `x % y` is zero as well.
- If neither `floorMod`(x, y) nor `x % y` is zero, they differ exactly when the signs of the arguments differ.
  - `floorMod(+4, +3) == +1`; and `(+4 % +3) == +1`
  - `floorMod(-4, -3) == -1`; and `(-4 % -3) == -1`
  - `floorMod(+4, -3) == -2`; and `(+4 % -3) == +1`
  - `floorMod(-4, +3) == +2`; and `(-4 % +3) == -1`

Parameters:
  `x` - the dividend
  `y` - the divisor
Returns:
  the floor modulus `x - (floorDiv(x, y) * y)`
Throws:
  `ArithmeticException` - if the divisor `y` is zero
Since:
  1.8
See Also:
  - `floorDiv(int, int)`

### floorMod

The floor modulus is `r = x - (floorDiv(x, y) * y)`, has the same sign as the divisor `y` or is zero, and is in the range of `-abs(y) < r < +abs(y)`.

The relationship between `floorDiv` and `floorMod` is such that:

For examples, see `floorMod(int, int)`.

Parameters:
  `x` - the dividend
  `y` - the divisor
Returns:
  the floor modulus `x - (floorDiv(x, y) * y)`
Throws:
  `ArithmeticException` - if the divisor `y` is zero
Since:
  9
See Also:
  - `floorDiv(long, int)`

### floorMod

public static long floorMod(long x, long y)

### ceilDiv

public static int ceilDiv(int x, int y)
Returns the smallest (closest to negative infinity) `int` value that is greater than or equal to the algebraic quotient. There is one special case: if the dividend is Integer.MIN_VALUE and the divisor is `-1`, then integer overflow occurs and the result is equal to `Integer.MIN_VALUE`.

Normal integer division operates under the round to zero rounding mode (truncation). This operation instead acts under the round toward positive infinity (ceiling) rounding mode. The ceiling rounding mode gives different results from truncation when the exact quotient is not an integer and is positive.

- If the signs of the arguments are different, the results of `ceilDiv` and the `/` operator are the same.
  For example, `ceilDiv(-4, 3) == -1` and `(-4 / 3) == -1`.
- If the signs of the arguments are the same, `ceilDiv` returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to the quotient while the `/` operator returns the largest integer less than or equal to the quotient. They differ if and only if the quotient is not an integer.
  For example, `ceilDiv(4, 3) == 2`, whereas `(4 / 3) == 1`.

Parameters:
  `x` - the dividend
  `y` - the divisor

Normal integer division operates under the round to zero rounding mode (truncation). This operation instead acts under the round toward positive infinity (ceiling) rounding mode.

  the smallest (closest to negative infinity) `long` value that is greater than or equal to the algebraic quotient.
Throws:

  - `ceil(double)`

### ceilDiv

public static long ceilDiv(long x, long y)
Returns the smallest (closest to negative infinity) `long` value that is greater than or equal to the algebraic quotient. There is one special case: if the dividend is Long.MIN_VALUE and the divisor is `-1`, then integer overflow occurs and the result is equal to `Long.MIN_VALUE`.

Normal integer division operates under the round to zero rounding mode (truncation). This operation instead acts under the round toward positive infinity (ceiling) rounding mode. The ceiling rounding mode gives different results from truncation when the exact result is not an integer and is positive.

For examples, see `ceilDiv(int, int)`.

Parameters:
  `x` - the dividend
  `y` - the divisor
Returns:
  the smallest (closest to negative infinity) `long` value that is greater than or equal to the algebraic quotient.
Throws:
  `ArithmeticException` - if the divisor `y` is zero
Since:
  18
See Also:
  - `ceilMod(int, int)`
  - `ceil(double)`

### ceilMod

public static int ceilMod(int x, int y)
Returns the ceiling modulus of the `int` arguments.

The ceiling modulus is `r = x - (ceilDiv(x, y) * y)`, has the opposite sign as the divisor `y` or is zero, and is in the range of `-abs(y) < r < +abs(y)`.

The relationship between `ceilDiv` and `ceilMod` is such that:

- `ceilDiv(x, y) * y + ceilMod(x, y) == x`

The difference in values between `ceilMod` and the `%` operator is due to the difference between `ceilDiv` and the `/` operator, as detailed in ceilDiv(int, int).

Examples:

- Regardless of the signs of the arguments, `ceilMod`(x, y) is zero exactly when `x % y` is zero as well.
- If neither `ceilMod`(x, y) nor `x % y` is zero, they differ exactly when the signs of the arguments are the same.
  - `ceilMod(+4, +3) == -2`; and `(+4 % +3) == +1`
  - `ceilMod(-4, -3) == +2`; and `(-4 % -3) == -1`
  - `ceilMod(+4, -3) == +1`; and `(+4 % -3) == +1`
  - `ceilMod(-4, +3) == -1`; and `(-4 % +3) == -1`

Parameters:
  `x` - the dividend
  `y` - the divisor
Returns:
  the ceiling modulus `x - (ceilDiv(x, y) * y)`
Throws:
  `ArithmeticException` - if the divisor `y` is zero
Since:
  18
See Also:
  - `ceilDiv(int, int)`

### ceilMod

public static int ceilMod(long x, int y)
Returns the ceiling modulus of the `long` and `int` arguments.

The relationship between `ceilDiv` and `ceilMod` is such that:

- `ceilDiv(x, y) * y + ceilMod(x, y) == x`

For examples, see `ceilMod(int, int)`.

Parameters:
  `x` - the dividend
  `y` - the divisor
Returns:
  the ceiling modulus `x - (ceilDiv(x, y) * y)`
Throws:
  `ArithmeticException` - if the divisor `y` is zero

### ceilMod

public static long ceilMod(long x, long y)

### abs

public static int abs(int a)
Returns the absolute value of an `int` value. If the argument is not negative, the argument is returned. If the argument is negative, the negation of the argument is returned.

Note that if the argument is equal to the value of `Integer.MIN_VALUE`, the most negative representable `int` value, the result is that same value, which is negative. In contrast, the `absExact(int)` method throws an `ArithmeticException` for this value.

Parameters:
  `a` - the argument whose absolute value is to be determined
Returns:

See Also:
  - `absExact(int)`

### absExact

public static int absExact(int a)
Returns the mathematical absolute value of an `int` value if it is exactly representable as an `int`, throwing `ArithmeticException` if the result overflows the positive `int` range.

Since the range of two's complement integers is asymmetric with one additional negative value (JLS 4.2.1), the mathematical absolute value of `Integer.MIN_VALUE` overflows the positive `int` range, so an exception is thrown for that argument.

Parameters:
  `a` - the argument whose absolute value is to be determined
Returns:
  the absolute value of the argument, unless overflow occurs
Throws:
  `ArithmeticException` - if the argument is `Integer.MIN_VALUE`
Since:
  15
See Also:

Parameters:
  `a` - the argument whose absolute value is to be determined

Since the range of two's complement integers is asymmetric with one additional negative value (JLS 4.2.1), the mathematical absolute value of `Long.MIN_VALUE` overflows the positive `long` range, so an exception is thrown for that argument.

Parameters:
  `a` - the argument whose absolute value is to be determined
Returns:
  the absolute value of the argument, unless overflow occurs

### clamp

public static int clamp(long value, int min, int max)
Clamps the value to fit between min and max. If the value is less than `min`, then `min` is returned. If the value is greater than `max`, then `max` is returned. Otherwise, the original value is returned.

While the original value of type long may not fit into the int type, the bounds have the int type, so the result always fits the int type. This allows to use method to safely cast long value to int with saturation.

Parameters:

  `min` - minimal allowed value
  `max` - maximal allowed value
Returns:
  a clamped value that fits into `min..max` interval

Unlike the numerical comparison operators, this method considers negative zero to be strictly smaller than positive zero. E.g., `clamp(-0.0, 0.0, 1.0)` returns 0.0.

Parameters:
  `value` - value to clamp
  `min` - minimal allowed value
  `max` - maximal allowed value
Returns:
  a clamped value that fits into `min..max` interval
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if either of `min` and `max` arguments is NaN, or `min > max`, or `min` is +0.0, and `max` is -0.0.
Since:
  21

### clamp

public static float clamp(float value, float min, float max)
Clamps the value to fit between min and max. If the value is less than `min`, then `min` is returned. If the value is greater than `max`, then `max` is returned. Otherwise, the original value is returned. If value is NaN, the result is also NaN.

Unlike the numerical comparison operators, this method considers negative zero to be strictly smaller than positive zero. E.g., `clamp(-0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)` returns 0.0f.

### fma

public static double fma(double a, double b, double c)
Returns the fused multiply add of the three arguments; that is, returns the exact product of the first two arguments summed with the third argument and then rounded once to the nearest `double`. The rounding is done using the round to nearest even rounding mode. In contrast, if `a * b + c` is evaluated as a regular floating-point expression, two rounding errors are involved, the first for the multiply operation, the second for the addition operation.

Special cases:

- If any argument is NaN, the result is NaN.
- If one of the first two arguments is infinite and the other is zero, the result is NaN.
- If the exact product of the first two arguments is infinite (in other words, at least one of the arguments is infinite and the other is neither zero nor NaN) and the third argument is an infinity of the opposite sign, the result is NaN.

Note that `fma(a, 1.0, c)` returns the same result as (`a + c`). However, `fma(a, b, +0.0)` does not always return the same result as (`a * b`) since `fma(-0.0, +0.0, +0.0)` is `+0.0` while (`-0.0 * +0.0`) is `-0.0`; `fma(a, b, -0.0)` is equivalent to (`a * b`) however.

API Note:
  This method corresponds to the fusedMultiplyAdd operation defined in IEEE 754.
Parameters:
  `a` - a value
  `b` - a value
  `c` - a value

### fma

public static float fma(float a, float b, float c)

The rounding is done using the round to nearest even rounding mode. In contrast, if `a * b + c` is evaluated as a regular floating-point expression, two rounding errors are involved, the first for the multiply operation, the second for the addition operation.

Special cases:

- If any argument is NaN, the result is NaN.
- If one of the first two arguments is infinite and the other is zero, the result is NaN.
- If the exact product of the first two arguments is infinite (in other words, at least one of the arguments is infinite and the other is neither zero nor NaN) and the third argument is an infinity of the opposite sign, the result is NaN.

Note that `fma(a, 1.0f, c)` returns the same result as (`a + c`). However, `fma(a, b, +0.0f)` does not always return the same result as (`a * b`) since `fma(-0.0f, +0.0f, +0.0f)` is `+0.0f` while (`-0.0f * +0.0f`) is `-0.0f`; `fma(a, b, -0.0f)` is equivalent to (`a * b`) however.

API Note:
  This method corresponds to the fusedMultiplyAdd operation defined in IEEE 754.
Parameters:
  `a` - a value
  `b` - a value
  `c` - a value

Special Cases:

- If the argument is NaN, then the result is NaN.
- If the argument is positive or negative infinity, then the result is positive infinity.

- If the argument is positive infinity, then the result is `+1.0`.
- If the argument is negative infinity, then the result is `-1.0`.

The computed result must be within 2.5 ulps of the exact result. The result of `tanh` for any finite input must have an absolute value less than or equal to 1. Note that once the exact result of tanh is within 1/2 of an ulp of the limit value of ±1, correctly signed ±`1.0` should be returned.

- If either argument is a NaN, then NaN is returned.
- If both arguments are signed zeros, `direction` is returned unchanged (as implied by the requirement of returning the second argument if the arguments compare as equal).
- If `start` is ±`Double.MIN_VALUE` and `direction` has a value such that the result should have a smaller magnitude, then a zero with the same sign as `start` is returned.
- If `start` is infinite and `direction` has a value such that the result should have a smaller magnitude, `Double.MAX_VALUE` with the same sign as `start` is returned.
- If `start` is equal to ± `Double.MAX_VALUE` and `direction` has a value such that the result should have a larger magnitude, an infinity with same sign as `start` is returned.

Parameters:
  `start` - starting floating-point value
  `direction` - value indicating which of `start`'s neighbors or `start` should be returned
Returns:
  The floating-point number adjacent to `start` in the direction of `direction`.
Since:
  1.6

### nextAfter

public static float nextAfter(float start, double direction)
Returns the floating-point number adjacent to the first argument in the direction of the second argument. If both arguments compare as equal a value equivalent to the second argument is returned.

Special cases:

- If either argument is a NaN, then NaN is returned.
- If both arguments are signed zeros, a value equivalent to `direction` is returned.
- If `start` is ±`Float.MIN_VALUE` and `direction` has a value such that the result should have a smaller magnitude, then a zero with the same sign as `start` is returned.
- If `start` is infinite and `direction` has a value such that the result should have a smaller magnitude, `Float.MAX_VALUE` with the same sign as `start` is returned.
- If `start` is equal to ± `Float.MAX_VALUE` and `direction` has a value such that the result should have a larger magnitude, an infinity with same sign as `start` is returned.

Parameters:
  `start` - starting floating-point value
  `direction` - value indicating which of `start`'s neighbors or `start` should be returned

### scalb

public static double scalb(double d, int scaleFactor)
Returns `d` × 2`scaleFactor` rounded as if performed by a single correctly rounded floating-point multiply. If the exponent of the result is between `Double.MIN_EXPONENT` and `Double.MAX_EXPONENT`, the answer is calculated exactly. If the exponent of the result would be larger than `Double.MAX_EXPONENT`, an infinity is returned. Note that if the result is subnormal, precision may be lost; that is, when `scalb(x, n)` is subnormal, `scalb(scalb(x, n), -n)` may not equal x. When the result is non-NaN, the result has the same sign as `d`.

Special cases:

- If the first argument is NaN, NaN is returned.
- If the first argument is infinite, then an infinity of the same sign is returned.
- If the first argument is zero, then a zero of the same sign is returned.

API Note:
  This method corresponds to the scaleB operation defined in IEEE 754.
Parameters:
  `d` - number to be scaled by a power of two.
  `scaleFactor` - power of 2 used to scale `d`
