Normally, when we work with Numbers, we use primitive data types such as int,
short, long, float and double, etc. The number data types, their possible values and
number ranges have been explained while discussing C++ Data Types.

Defining Numbers in C++


You have already defined numbers in various examples given in previous chapters.
Here is another consolidated example to define various types of numbers in C++:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main () {
// number definition:
short s;
int i;
long l;
float f;
double d;

// number assignments;
s = 10;
i = 1000;
l = 1000000;
f = 230.47;
d = 30949.374;

// number printing;
cout << "short s :" << s << endl;
cout << "int i :" << i << endl;
cout << "long l :" << l << endl;
cout << "float f :" << f << endl;
cout << "double d :" << d << endl;

return 0;
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:

short s :10

int i :1000
long l :1000000
float f :230.47
double d :30949.4

Math Operations in C++


In addition to the various functions you can create, C++ also includes some useful
functions you can use. These functions are available in standard C and C++ libraries
and called built-in functions. These are functions that can be included in your
program and then use.

C++ has a rich set of mathematical operations, which can be performed on various
numbers. Following table lists down some useful built-in mathematical functions
available in C++.

To utilize these functions you need to include the math header file <cmath>.

S.N. Function & Purpose

1 double cos(double);
This function takes an angle (as a double) and returns the cosine.

2 double sin(double);
This function takes an angle (as a double) and returns the sine.

3 double tan(double);
This function takes an angle (as a double) and returns the tangent.

4 double log(double);
This function takes a number and returns the natural log of that number.

5 double pow(double, double);


The first is a number you wish to raise and the second is the power you
wish to raise it t

6 double hypot(double, double);


If you pass this function the length of two sides of a right triangle, it will
return you the length of the hypotenuse.

7 double sqrt(double);

You pass this function a number and it gives you this square root.

8 int abs(int);
This function returns the absolute value of an integer that is passed to it.

9 double fabs(double);
This function returns the absolute value of any decimal number passed to
it.

10 double floor(double);
Finds the integer which is less than or equal to the argument passed to it.

Following a simple example to show few of the mathematical operations:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main () {
// number definition:
short s = 10;
int i = -1000;
long l = 100000;
float f = 230.47;
double d = 200.374;

// mathematical operations;
cout << "sin(d) :" << sin(d) << endl;
cout << "abs(i) :" << abs(i) << endl;
cout << "floor(d) :" << floor(d) << endl;
cout << "sqrt(f) :" << sqrt(f) << endl;
cout << "pow( d, 2) :" << pow(d, 2) << endl;

return 0;
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:

sign(d) :-0.634939
abs(i) :1000
floor(d) :200
sqrt(f) :15.1812
pow( d, 2 ) :40149.7

Random Numbers in C++


There are many cases where you will wish to generate a random number. There are

actually two functions you will need to know about random number generation. The
first is rand(), this function will only return a pseudo random number. The way to
fix this is to first call the srand() function.

Following is a simple example to generate few random numbers. This example


makes use of time() function to get the number of seconds on your system time,
to randomly seed the rand() function:

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main () {
int i,j;

// set the seed


srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) );

/* generate 10 random numbers. */


for( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
// generate actual random number
j= rand();
cout <<" Random Number : " << j << endl;
}

return 0;
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:

Random Number : 1748144778


Random Number : 630873888
Random Number : 2134540646
Random Number : 219404170
Random Number : 902129458
Random Number : 920445370
Random Number : 1319072661
Random Number : 257938873
Random Number : 1256201101
Random Number : 580322989
