Calculate the tangent (tan or tanf) or hyperbolic tangent (tanh or tanhf).
double tan(
double x
);
float tan(
float x
); // C++ only
long double tan(
long double x
); // C++ only
float tanf(
float x
);
double tanh(
double x
);
float tanh(
float x
); // C++ only
long double tanh(
long double x
); // C++ only
float tanhf(
float x
);
Parameters
- x
Angle in radians.
Return Value
tan returns the tangent of x. If x is greater than or equal to 263, or less than or equal to –263, a loss of significance in the result occurs.

± ∞ (tan, tanf) |
INVALID |
_DOMAIN |
tanh returns the hyperbolic tangent of x. There is no error return.
Remarks
C++ allows overloading, so users can call overloads of tan and tanh that take float or long double types. In a C program, the tan and tanh functions always take and return double.

Example
// crt_tan.c
// This program displays the tangent of pi / 4
// and the hyperbolic tangent of the result.
//
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main( void )
{
double pi = 3.1415926535;
double x, y;
x = tan( pi / 4 );
y = tanh( x );
printf( "tan( %f ) = %f\n", pi/4, x );
printf( "tanh( %f ) = %f\n", x, y );
}
tan( 0.785398 ) = 1.000000 tanh( 1.000000 ) = 0.761594
