SINH Function

Purpose

Returns a floating-point value that is the hyperbolic sine of the arithmetic value x.

Syntax

SINH(x)

Parameters

x is a floating-point value representing the sine of an angle.

Description

The SINH function returns the hyperbolic sine of the angle x expressed in radians. The result has the same data type as x.

Examples

SINH(0.0)   /* returns 0.0 */

Restrictions

An SINH operation on floating-point decimal data is actually performed using the floating-point binary operation. Thus, the range of the operands and the result of the operation are limited to the ranges for floating-point binary numbers.
