<h3>PHP Math</h3>
<p>PHP offers a range of mathematical functions for performing various calculations, from basic arithmetic to more advanced operations. Below is an overview of some commonly used mathematical functions in PHP along with examples.</p>
<hr />
<h4>Common PHP Math Functions</h4>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Basic Arithmetic Functions</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><code>abs()</code></strong>: Returns the absolute value.</li>
<li><strong><code>ceil()</code></strong>: Rounds a number up to the nearest integer.</li>
<li><strong><code>floor()</code></strong>: Rounds a number down to the nearest integer.</li>
<li><strong><code>round()</code></strong>: Rounds a number to the nearest integer or specified precision.</li>
<li><strong><code>pow()</code></strong>: Raises a number to a specified power.</li>
<li><strong><code>sqrt()</code></strong>: Returns the square root of a number.</li>
<li><strong><code>max()</code></strong> and <strong><code>min()</code></strong>: Returns the highest or lowest value from a set of numbers.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Random Number Generation</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><code>rand()</code></strong>: Generates a random integer.</li>
<li><strong><code>mt_rand()</code></strong>: Generates a better random integer (using the Mersenne Twister algorithm).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Trigonometric Functions</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><code>sin()</code>, <code>cos()</code>, <code>tan()</code></strong>: Calculate the sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle.</li>
<li><strong><code>deg2rad()</code></strong>: Converts degrees to radians.</li>
<li><strong><code>rad2deg()</code></strong>: Converts radians to degrees.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>

<h3>Example: Basic Math Operations</h3>
<p>Here's a PHP script demonstrating various math functions:</p>
<div class="dark bg-gray-950 contain-inline-size rounded-md border-[0.5px] border-token-border-medium relative">
<div class="flex items-center text-token-text-secondary bg-token-main-surface-secondary px-4 py-2 text-xs font-sans justify-between rounded-t-md h-9">
<pre class="language-php"><code>&lt;?php
// Basic arithmetic operations
$a = 10;
$b = 3;

// Addition
$sum = $a + $b;
echo "Sum: $sum&lt;br&gt;"; // Output: Sum: 13

// Subtraction
$difference = $a - $b;
echo "Difference: $difference&lt;br&gt;"; // Output: Difference: 7

// Multiplication
$product = $a * $b;
echo "Product: $product&lt;br&gt;"; // Output: Product: 30

// Division
$quotient = $a / $b;
echo "Quotient: $quotient&lt;br&gt;"; // Output: Quotient: 3.3333

// Using built-in math functions
$number = -10;
echo "Absolute value: " . abs($number) . "&lt;br&gt;"; // Output: Absolute value: 10

$float = 7.8;
echo "Ceiling value: " . ceil($float) . "&lt;br&gt;"; // Output: Ceiling value: 8
echo "Floor value: " . floor($float) . "&lt;br&gt;"; // Output: Floor value: 7
echo "Rounded value: " . round($float) . "&lt;br&gt;"; // Output: Rounded value: 8

$base = 2;
$exponent = 3;
echo "Power: " . pow($base, $exponent) . "&lt;br&gt;"; // Output: Power: 8
echo "Square root: " . sqrt(16) . "&lt;br&gt;"; // Output: Square root: 4

// Random number generation
echo "Random number: " . rand(1, 100) . "&lt;br&gt;"; // Output: Random number: (1-100)
?&gt;</code></pre>
</div>

<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>PHP's built-in math functions provide a straightforward way to perform mathematical calculations. Whether you're doing basic arithmetic or more complex mathematical operations, these functions simplify the process.</p>
