SYNOPSIS

9       #include <math.h>
10
11       double tanh(double x);
12       float tanhf(float x);
13       long double tanhl(long double x);

17   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
18
19       tanhf(), tanhl(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600
20       || _ISOC99_SOURCE; or cc -std=c99

DESCRIPTION

23       The tanh() function returns the  hyperbolic  tangent  of  x,  which  is
24       defined mathematically as:
25
26           tanh(x) = sinh(x) / cosh(x)
27

RETURN VALUE

29       On success, these functions return the hyperbolic tangent of x.
30
31       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
32
33       If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
34
35       If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), +1 (-1) is returned.
36

ERRORS

38       No errors occur.

CONFORMING TO

41       C99, POSIX.1-2001.  The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4,
42       4.3BSD, C89.
