- The scalb(double a, int scale ) is an inbuilt method of Math class in Java which is used to get the value a x 2^scale . The result is accurately calculated when the exponent of the result is between Double.MIN_EXPONENT and Double.MAX_EXPONENT. It gives rise to four special results:
- It returns an infinity when the exponent of the result is larger than Double.MAX_EXPONENT.
- The result is NaN when the first argument is NaN.
- The result is an infinity of the same sign when the first argument is infinite.
- It returns a Zero of the same sign when the first argument is zero.
Syntax :
public static double scalb(double a, int scale)
Parameters : This method accepts two parameters they are:
- a: This is of the double type which is the number to be scaled by a power of two.
- scale: This is of integer type which is the power of 2 ,used to scale a
Return Value : The method returns a x 2^scale
Examples :Input: a = 77.23 scale = 3 Output = 617.84

- The java.lang.Math.scalb(float a, int scale ) is an inbuilt method which returns a x 2^scale . The result is accurately calculated when the exponent of the result is between Float.EXPONENT and Float.MAX_EXPONENT.
- It returns an infinity when the exponent of the result is larger than Float.MAX_EXPONENT.
- The result is NaN when the first argument is NaN.
- The result is an infinity of the same sign when the first argument is infinite.
- It returns a Zero of the same sign when the first argument is zero.
Syntax :
public static double scalb(float a, int scale)
Parameters : This method accepts two parameters:
- a: This is of float type which is the number to be scaled by a power of two.
- scale: This is of integer type which refers to the power of 2 used in scaling of a
Return Value : The method returns a x 2^scale
Examples :Input: a = 32.14f scale = 6 Output = 2056.96
