tanh

> # NAME

> tanh - returns hyperbolic tangent of scalars and vectors.

> # SYNOPSIS

>       float  tanh(float a);
>       float1 tanh(float1 a);
>       float2 tanh(float2 a);
>       float3 tanh(float3 a);
>       float4 tanh(float4 a);

>       half   tanh(half a);
>       half1  tanh(half1 a);
>       half2  tanh(half2 a);
>       half3  tanh(half3 a);
>       half4  tanh(half4 a);

>       fixed  tanh(fixed a);
>       fixed1 tanh(fixed1 a);
>       fixed2 tanh(fixed2 a);
>       fixed3 tanh(fixed3 a);
>       fixed4 tanh(fixed4 a);

> # PARAMETERS

> a

>   Vector or scalar of which to determine the hyperbolic tangent.

> # DESCRIPTION

> Returns the hyperbolic tangent of a.

> For vectors, the returned vector contains the hyperbolic tangent of each element of the input vector.

> # REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATION

> tanh for a scalar float could be implemented like this.

>       float tanh(float x)
>       {
>         float exp2x = exp(2*x);
>         return (exp2x - 1) / (exp2x + 1);
>       }

> # PROFILE SUPPORT

> tanh is supported in all profiles except fp20.
