# tanh( ) function for complex Number in C++

C++Server Side ProgrammingProgramming

In this article we will be discussing the working, syntax and examples of tanh() function for a complex number in C++ STL.

tanh() for complex number is a function which comes under <complex> header file. This function is used to find the hyperbolic tangent of a complex number. This is the complex version of the tanh() which is under the <cmath> header file.

## What is tanh?

Tanh is the hyperbolic tangent function. To easily define the function, we can say that the tanh is equal to hyperbolic sine divided by hyperbolic cosine.

## Syntax

complex<T> tanh(complex& num);

## Parameters

The function accepts only one parameter which is num, of complex type.

## Return value

It returns hyperbolic of tangent num.

## Example

Input: complex <double> num(0.0, 1.0);
tanh(num);
Output: (0, 1.55741)

Input: complex <double> num(1.0, 0.0);
tanh(num);
Output: (0.761594, 0)

### Approach can be followed −

• In main function, we define the complex number.
• Then we print the complex.
• At last we print the hyperbolic tangent of complex Number.

By this approach we can find out the hyperbolic tangent of complex Number.

## Example

C++ code to demonstrate the working of tanh( ) function

#include<iostream.h>
#include<complex.h>
#include<cmath.h>
using namespace std;
int main( ) {
/ / defining complex number
Complex<double> x(1,0);
Cout<< “ tanh “<<x<<” =” << tanh(x)<<endl;
return 0;
}

## Output

If we run the above code it will generate the following output −

tanh(1.000000,0.000000) = (0.761594, 0.000000)
tanh(0.000000,1.000000) = (0.000000, 1.557408)
