Kick Assembler's math library is built upon the Java math library. This means that nearly every constant and command in Java's math library is available in Kick Assembler. Here is a list of available constants and commands. For further explanation consult the Java documentation at Suns homepage. The only non Java math library function is mod (modulo).
Table 4.6. Math Functions
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| abs(x) | Returns the absolute (positive) value of x. |
| acos(x) | Returns the arc cosine of x. |
| asin(x) | Returns the arc sine of x. |
| atan(x) | Returns the arc tangent x |
| atan2(y,x) | Returns the angle of the coordinate (x,y) relative to the positive x-axis. Useful when converting to polar coordinates. |
| cbrt(x) | Returns the cube root of x. |
| ceil(x) | Rounds up to the nearest integer. |
| cos(r) | Returns the cosine of r. |
| cosh(x) | Returns the hyperbolic cosine of r. |
| exp(x) | Returns ex. |
| expm1(x) | Returns ex-1. |
| floor(x) | Rounds down to the nearest integer. |

| IEEEremainder(x,y) | Returns the remainder of the two numbers as described in the IEEE 754 standard. |
| log(x) | Returns the natural logarithm of x. |
| log10(x) | Returns the base 10 logarithm of x. |
| log1p(x) | Returns log(x+1). |
| max(x,y) | Returns the highest number of x and y. |
| min(x,y) | Returns the smallest number of x and y. |
| mod(a,b) | Converts a and b to integers and returns the remainder of a/b. |
| pow(x,y) | Returns x raised to the power of y. |
| random() | Returns a random number x where 0 ≤ x < 1. |
| round(x) | Rounds x to the nearest integer. |
| signum(x) | Returns 1 if x>0, -1 if x<0 and 0 if x=0. |
| sin(r) | Returns the sine of r. |
| sinh(x) | Returns the hyperbolic sine of x. |
| sqrt(x) | Returns the square root of x. |
| tan(r) | Returns the tangent of r. |
| tanh(x) | Returns the hyperbolic tangent of x. |
| toDegrees(r) | Converts a radian angle to degrees. |
| toRadians(d) | Converts a degree angle to radians. |
Here are some examples of use.
// Load a with a random number
lda #random()*256
// Generate a sine curve
.fill 256,round(127.5+127.5*sin(toRadians(i*360/256)))
