The atanh() function returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of a number in radians.

Syntax

atanh(x)

This function requires an x parameter x in the range of [-1, 1]. Its data type can be double, float, or long double.

  • If the value of x is outside of its range, a range error occurs.
  • If x is ±1, a pole error occurs.

For C++ implementations that support floating-point math:

  • If x is ±0, it is returned unmodified.
  • If x is ±1, ±∞ is returned and FE_DIVBYZERO is raised.
  • If |x| > 1, NaN is returned and FE_INVALID is raised.
  • If x is NaN, NaN is returned.

Example

The following example uses atanh() to return the result in radians:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#define PI 3.141592654
using namespace std;
int main() {
double x = 0.32, result;
result = atanh(x);
cout << "atanh(x) = " << result << " radian" << endl;
// result in degrees
cout << "atanh(x) = " << result*180/PI << " degree" << endl;
return 0;
}

This example produces the following output:

atanh(x) = 0.331647 radian
atanh(x) = 19.002 degree
