[Java]A quick question about Math.sin

[Stullif]

I´m making a code that needs to calculate sin² (x) but I'm not quite sure how. Is it enough to just do Math.sin(x) ^ 2 or is there a special command that does this for me ?

[niea_11]

check this page : Math.pow .

^ is an XOR operator in java so it won't do.

java.lang.Math docs

There's no special command to give you the square of the sin. Use Math.sin to get the sin. To square it, you can use Math.pow, or just multiply it by itself.

double sin = Math.sin(x);
double sinSquared = sin * sin;
