NAME

tanh - hyperbolic tangent function

 SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

double tanh(double x);

 DESCRIPTION

The tanh() function computes the hyperbolic tangent of x.

An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to 0 before calling tanh(). If errno is non-zero on return, or the return value is NaN, an error has occurred.

 RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, tanh() returns the hyperbolic tangent of x.

If x is NaN, NaN is returned and errno may be set to [EDOM].

If the correct value would cause underflow, 0.0 is returned and errno may be set to [ERANGE].

 ERRORS

The tanh() function may fail if:

[EDOM]

The value of x is NaN.

[ERANGE]

The correct result would cause underflow.

No other errors will occur.

 EXAMPLES

None.

 APPLICATION USAGE

None.

 FUTURE DIRECTIONS

None.
