Syntax

Math.tanh(x)

Parameters

Return value

The hyperbolic tangent of x.

Description

Because tanh() is a static method of Math, you always use it as Math.tanh(), rather than as a method of a Math object you created (Math is not a constructor).

Examples

Using Math.tanh()

Math.tanh(-Infinity); // -1
Math.tanh(-0); // -0
Math.tanh(0); // 0
Math.tanh(1); // 0.7615941559557649
Math.tanh(Infinity); // 1
