<h3 class="section">1.56 <code>tanh</code>, <code>tanhf</code>&mdash;hyperbolic tangent</h3>
<p><a name="index-tanh-150"></a><a name="index-tanhf-151"></a><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> #include &lt;math.h&gt;
double tanh(double <var>x</var>);
float tanhf(float <var>x</var>);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
<p><code>tanh</code> computes the hyperbolic tangent of
the argument <var>x</var>. Angles are specified in radians.
<p><code>tanh(</code><var>x</var><code>)</code> is defined as
<pre class="smallexample"> sinh(<var>x</var>)/cosh(<var>x</var>)
</pre>
<p><code>tanhf</code> is identical, save that it takes and returns <code>float</code> values.
<p><br>
<strong>Returns</strong><br>
The hyperbolic tangent of <var>x</var> is returned.
<p><br>
<strong>Portability</strong><br>
<code>tanh</code> is ANSI C. <code>tanhf</code> is an extension.
