How to get the power of a number in J2ME

J2ME power(double, double) math function implementation

I'm developing a simple j2me application. There I need to get the power of a number as like as in the pow(double num1, double num2) in java. But as I got to know, j2me doesn't support to this pow() method. Any helpful option is appreciated.

yes? i want the functionality totally as like as in Math.pow() — highfive, Jun 29 '11 at 09:48

public double pow(double num1, double num2) {
  double result = 1;
  for (int i = 0; i < num2; i++)
    result *= num1;
  return result;
}

When developing applications for mobile devices using Java, you may require mathematical methods not available on your particular Java VM. You can use this code. It will helps you.

public double pow(double x, double y)
    {
        return powTaylor(x,y);
    }

    public double powSqrt(double x, double y)
    {
        int den = 1024, num = (int)(y*den), iterations = 10;
        double n = Double.MAX_VALUE;

        while( n >= Double.MAX_VALUE && iterations > 1)
        {
            n = x;

            for( int i=1; i < num; i++ )n*=x;

            if( n >= Double.MAX_VALUE ) 
            {
                iterations--;
                den = (int)(den / 2);
                num = (int)(y*den);
            }
        }   

        for( int i = 0; i <iterations; i++ )n = Math.sqrt(n);

        return n;
    }

    public double powDecay(double x, double y)
    {
        int num, den = 1001, s = 0;
        double n = x, z = Double.MAX_VALUE;

        for( int i = 1; i < s; i++)n *= x;

        while( z >= Double.MAX_VALUE )
        {
            den -=1;
            num = (int)(y*den);
            s = (num/den)+1;

            z = x; 
            for( int i = 1; i < num; i++ )z *= x;
        }

        while( n > 0 )
        {
            double a = n;

            for( int i = 1; i < den; i++ )a *= n;

            if( (a-z) < .00001 || (z-a) > .00001 ) return n;

            n *= .9999;                          
        }

        return -1.0;
    }

    double powTaylor(double a, double b)
    {
        boolean gt1 = (Math.sqrt((a-1)*(a-1)) <= 1)? false:true; 
        int oc = -1,iter = 30;
        double p = a, x, x2, sumX, sumY;

        if( (b-Math.floor(b)) == 0 )
        {
            for( int i = 1; i < b; i++ )p *= a;
            return p;
        }

        x = (gt1)?(a /(a-1)):(a-1);
        sumX = (gt1)?(1/x):x;

        for( int i = 2; i < iter; i++ )
        {
            p = x;
            for( int j = 1; j < i; j++)p *= x;

            double xTemp = (gt1)?(1/(i*p)):(p/i);

            sumX = (gt1)?(sumX+xTemp):(sumX+(xTemp*oc));

            oc *= -1;
        }

        x2 = b * sumX;
        sumY = 1+x2;

        for( int i = 2; i <= iter; i++ )
        {
            p = x2;
            for( int j = 1; j < i; j++)p *= x2;

            int yTemp = 2;
            for( int j = i; j > 2; j-- )yTemp *= j;

            sumY += p/yTemp;
        }

        return sumY;
    }

public static double pow(final double a, final double b) 
{

final int x = (int) (Double.doubleToLongBits(a) >> 32);

final int y = (int) (b * (x - 1072632447) + 1072632447);

return Double.longBitsToDouble(((long) y) << 32);
}
