Oracle TANH() function

Description

This TANH() function returns the hyperbolic tangent of a given number.
The function takes any numeric or nonnumeric data type (can be implicitly converted to a numeric data type) as an argument.
If the argument is BINARY_FLOAT, then the function returns BINARY_DOUBLE. Otherwise, the function returns the same numeric data type as the argument

Uses of Oracle TANH() Function

• Mathematical calculations: Compute the hyperbolic tangent of numbers in various mathematical applications.


• Scientific research: Perform hyperbolic trigonometric calculations in scientific studies.


• Engineering computations: Use the hyperbolic tangent function in engineering problems and simulations.


• Data analysis: Analyze data sets that require hyperbolic transformations or calculations.


• Graphing and plotting: Generate graphs and plots involving hyperbolic tangent values.

Syntax:

TAN(X)

Where X is a number
