StrictMath tanh() Method in Java

The java.lang.StrictMath.tanh() method is used to return the hyperbolic tan of a double value passed as parameter to the function. The hyperbolic tan of x is defined by the formula $(e^x-e^{-x})/(e^x+e^{-x})$ where e denotes the Euler's number. Syntax:

public static double tanh(double x)

Parameters: The function accepts a single parameter x of double type and refers to the value whose hyperbolic tangent equivalence is to be returned. Return Values: This method returns a double value which is the hyperbolic tangent of x. The absolute value of exact tanh never exceeds 1. The following cases are considered:

The function returns NaN if the argument is NaN.
The function returns +1.0 and -1.0 for positive infinity and negative infinity respectively.
The function returns zero with the same sign as the argument if the argument is zero

Examples:

Input: 0.7853981633974483
Output: 0.6557942026326724

Input: 4.0
Output: 0.999329299739067

Below programs illustrate the java.lang.StrictMath.tanh() method: Program 1:

Java

// Java Program to demonstrate tanh()
import java.io.*;
import java.math.*;
import java.lang.*;

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        double x = (45 * Math.PI) / 180;

        // Display the hyperbolic tan of the value
        System.out.println("Hyperbolic tan of "
                + x + " = " + StrictMath.tanh(x));
    }
}

Output:

Hyperbolic tan of 0.7853981633974483 = 0.6557942026326724

Program 2:

Java

// Java Program to illustrate 
// StrictMath.tanh() function 

import java.io.*;
import java.math.*;
import java.lang.*;

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        double x1 = 180 / (0.0), x2 = 0;

        // Display the hyperbolic tan of the values
        System.out.println("Hyperbolic tan of "
               + x1 + " = " + StrictMath.tanh(x1));
        System.out.println("Hyperbolic tan of "
               + x2 + " = " + StrictMath.tanh(x2));
    }
}

Output:

Hyperbolic tan of Infinity = 1.0
Hyperbolic tan of 0.0 = 0.0
