The tanh()
function in PHP returns a number’s hyperbolic tangent in radians.
The following illustration shows the mathematical representation of the tanh()
function.
tanh(float $num): float
This function requires a number that represents an angle in radians as a parameter.
To convert degrees to radians, use:
radians = degrees * ( M_PI / 180.0 )
tanh()
returns the hyperbolic tangent of the number that is sent in as a parameter in radians.
If the value of num
is NaN
.
