In this tutorial, you will learn about C math library function sinh() that computes the hyperbolic sine of the argument.

sinh() is the standard C math library function that is defined in math library math.h.

#include<math.h>

Function prototype of C math library function sinh()

double sinh( double x );

where,

x = floating point value of any range

Return Value of sinh()

This function returns the hyperbolic sine value of x.

The return type is double.

Example: Program to demonstrate the use of C math library function sinh()

/*Use of math library function sinh()*/

#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>

int main()
{
   double x ;

   x = 0.3;

   //calculation of hyperbolic sine
   printf("\nsinh( %.3lf ) = %.3lf \n", x, sinh( x ));

   x = -0.5;
   //calculation of hyperbolic sine
   printf("\nsinh( %.3lf ) = %.3lf \n", x, sinh( x ));

   x = 1.5;
   //calculation of hyperbolic sine
   printf("\nsinh( %.3lf ) = %.3lf \n", x, sinh( x ));

   return 0;
}

Output

Explanation

In the above program, we have calculated the hyperbolic sine of x.
