NAME

6       tanh, tanhf, tanhl - hyperbolic tangent function

SYNOPSIS

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

18
19       tanhf(), tanhl():
20           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
21               || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE

23

DESCRIPTION

25       These  functions  return  the hyperbolic tangent of x, which is defined
26       mathematically as:
27
28           tanh(x) = sinh(x) / cosh(x)
29

RETURN VALUE

31       On success, these functions return the hyperbolic tangent of x.
32
33       If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
34
35       If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
36
37       If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), +1 (-1) is returned.
38

ERRORS

40       No errors occur.
