C Language: sinh function
(Hyperbolic Sine)
In the C Programming Language, the sinh function returns the hyperbolic sine of x.
Syntax
The syntax for the sinh function in the C Language is:
double sinh(double x);
Parameters or Arguments
- x
- A value expressed in radians (not degrees).
Returns
The sinh function returns the hyperbolic sine of x. If the magnitude of x is too large, the sinh function will return a range error.
Required Header
In the C Language, the required header for the sinh function is:
#include <math.h>
Applies To
In the C Language, the sinh function can be used in the following versions:
- ANSI/ISO 9899-1990
sinh Example
/* Example using sinh by TechOnTheNet.com */ #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { /* Define temporary variables */ double value; double result; /* Assign the value we will find the sinh of */ value = 0.5; /* Calculate the Hyperbolic Sine of value */ result = sinh(value); /* Display the result of the calculation */ printf("The Hyperbolic Sine of %f is %f\n", value, result); return 0; }
When compiled and run, this application will output:
The Hyperbolic Sine of 0.500000 is 0.521095
