Class jnt.util.Constants 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----jnt.util.Constants
public class Constants
extends Object
Mathematical constants and constants related to the arithmetic environment.

This class holds a variety of constants useful in mathematical software. These constants are available as final class variables. The class need not be instantiated in order to reference these variables.
