Java Math - tanh() Method

The java.lang.Math.tanh() method returns hyperbolic tangent of a value. The hyperbolic tangent of x is defined as:

where e is an Euler's number.

In special cases it returns the following:

• If the argument is NaN, then the result is NaN.
• If the argument is zero, then the result is a zero with the same sign as the argument.
• If the argument is positive infinity, then the result is +1.0.
• If the argument is negative infinity, then the result is -1.0.

Syntax

public static double tanh(double x)

Parameters

Return Value

Returns the hyperbolic tangent of x.

Exception

NA.

Example:

In the example below, tanh() method is used to find out the hyperbolic tangent of a value.

import java.lang.*;

public class MyClass {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  System.out.println(Math.tanh(0));   
  System.out.println(Math.tanh(2));
  System.out.println(Math.tanh(4));     
 }
}

The output of the above code will be:

0.0
0.9640275800758169
0.999329299739067
