The
sinh() function is a builtin function in PHP and is used to find the hyperbolic sine of an angle.
The hyperbolic sine of any argument
arg is defined as,
(exp(arg) - exp(-arg))/2
Where, exp() is the exponential function and returns e raised to the power of argument passed to it. For example exp(2) = e^2.
Syntax:
float sinh($value)
Parameters: This function accepts a single parameter $value. It is the number whose hyperbolic sine value you want to find. The value of this parameter must be in radians.
Return Value: It returns a floating point number which is the hyperbolic sine value of number passed to it as argument.
Examples:
Input : sinh(3)
Output : 10.01787492741
Input : sinh(-3)
Output : -10.01787492741
Input : sinh(M_PI)
Output : 11.548739357258
Input : sinh(0)
Output : 0
Below programs taking different values of $value are used to illustrate the sinh() function in PHP:
- Passing 3 as a parameter:
Output:
10.01787492741
- Passing -3 as a parameter:
Output:
-10.01787492741
-
When (M_PI) is passed as a parameter, M_PI is a constant in PHP whose value is 3.1415926535898:
Output:
11.548739357258
- Passing 0 as a parameter:
Output:
0
