C Programming Tutorial
C Programming allows us to perform mathematical operations through the functions defined in
C Math Functions
In the C Programming Language, the cosh function returns the hyperbolic cosine of x.
Syntax
The syntax for the cosh function in the C Language is:
double cosh(double x);
Parameters or Arguments
A value expressed in radians (not degrees).
Returns
The cosh function returns the hyperbolic cosine of x. If the magnitude of x is too large, the cosh function will return a range error.
Required Header
In the C Language, the required header for the cosh function is
#include <math.h>
Applies To
In the C Language, the cosh function can be used in the following versions
- ANSI/ISO 9899-1990
cosh Example
/* Example using cosh by c programming */ #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { /* Define temporary variables */ double value; double result; /* Assign the value we will find the cosh of */ value = 0.5; /* Calculate the Hyperbolic Cosine of value */ result = cosh(value); /* Display the result of the calculation */ printf("The Hyperbolic Cosine of %f is %f\n", value, result); return 0; }
When compiled and run, this application will output
The Hyperbolic Cosine of 0.500000 is 1.127626
