The Asinh() function returns the inverse hyperbolic sine of a number.
Syntax
result := math.Asinh(number)
The Asinh() function takes one parameter, number, a type of float64. It returns a number representing the inverse hyperbolic sine (also known as arcsinh) value of number as a type of float64. If the value of number is:
- Not defined (
undefined), then it returnsNaN(Not a Number) - Positive infinity or equivalent, then it returns
+Inf - Negative infinity or equivalent, then it returns
-Inf
Note: The
mathlibrary must be imported first to use this function.
Example
The following example first calculates the inverse hyperbolic sine of num and then prints out the result to the console:
package mainimport ("fmt""math")func main() {num := 16.1inverseHyperbolicSine := math.Asinh(num)fmt.Printf("The inverse hyperbolic sine of %f is %f\n", num, inverseHyperbolicSine)}
The output will be:
The inverse hyperbolic sine of 16.100000 is 3.472930
Codebyte Example
The following example is runnable and uses the Asinh() function with two values: negative infinity and 3.1.
