1-3) Computes the hyperbolic tangent of num. The library provides overloads of std::tanh for all cv-unqualified floating-point types as the type of the parameter num.(since C++23)

A) Additional overloads are provided for all integer types, which are treated as double.

(since C++11)

Parameters

num

-

floating-point or integer value

Return value

If no errors occur, the hyperbolic tangent of num (tanh(num), or

enum-e-num

enum+e-num

) is returned.

If a range error occurs due to underflow, the correct result (after rounding) is returned.

Error handling

Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),

• if the argument is ±0, ±0 is returned
• If the argument is ±∞, ±1 is returned
• if the argument is NaN, NaN is returned

Notes

POSIX specifies that in case of underflow, num is returned unmodified, and if that is not supported, and implementation-defined value no greater than DBL_MIN, FLT_MIN, and LDBL_MIN is returned.

The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as (A). They only need to be sufficient to ensure that for their argument num of integer type, std::tanh(num) has the same effect as std::tanh(static_cast<double>(num)).

Examples

Run this code

#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << std::showpos
              << "tanh(+1) = " << std::tanh(+1) << '\n'
              << "tanh(-1) = " << std::tanh(-1) << '\n'
              << "tanh(0.1)*sinh(0.2)-cosh(0.2) = "
              << std::tanh(0.1) * std::sinh(0.2) - std::cosh(0.2) << '\n'
              // special values:
              << "tanh(+0) = " << std::tanh(+0.0) << '\n'
              << "tanh(-0) = " << std::tanh(-0.0) << '\n';
}

Output:

tanh(+1) = +0.761594
tanh(-1) = -0.761594
tanh(0.1)*sinh(0.2)-cosh(0.2) = -1
tanh(+0) = +0
tanh(-0) = -0
