Computes the hyperbolic tangent of numeric types.
Prototype
function tanh ( value : numeric ) return_val [dimsizes(value)] : float or double
Arguments
valueOne or more floating-point values of any dimension, in radians.
Return value
Returns an array dimensioned the same as value.
The return type is floating point if the input is floating point, and double if the input is of type double.
Description
This function returns the hyperbolic tangent of each element of value. Missing values are ignored.
