C library function -cosh()
Description
C Library Functionsdouble cosh(double x)returnxthe hyperbolic cosine of.
cosh()is the C standard library<math.h>A function used to compute the hyperbolic cosine value. The hyperbolic cosine function (cosh) is an important mathematical function with wide applications in many scientific and engineering fields.
Declaration
The following is the declaration of the cosh() function.
#include <math.h> double cosh(double x); float coshf(float x); long double coshl(long double x);
Parameter
- x-- The input real number, representing the argument of the hyperbolic cosine function.
The definition of the hyperbolic cosine function is:

Return Value
This function returns the hyperbolic cosine of x.
Example
The following example demonstrates the usage of the cosh() function.
Example
#include <math.h>
int main ()
{
double x;
x = 0.5;
printf("The hyperbolic cosine of %lf is %lf\n", x, cosh(x));
x = 1.0;
printf("The hyperbolic cosine of %lf is %lf\n", x, cosh(x));
x = 1.5;
printf("The hyperbolic cosine of %lf is %lf\n", x, cosh(x));
return(0);
}
Let us compile and run the above program, which will produce the following result:
0.500000 的双曲余弦是 1.127626 1.000000 的双曲余弦是 1.543081 1.500000 的双曲余弦是 2.352410
Compute the hyperbolic cosine of multiple values
The following example shows how to compute the hyperbolic cosine of multiple values:
Example
#include <math.h>
int main() {
double values[] = {0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2};
int num_values = sizeof(values) / sizeof(values[0]);
for (int i = 0; i < num_values; i++) {
double x = values[i];
double result = cosh(x);
printf("cosh(%f) = %f\n", x, result);
}
return 0;
}
Let us compile and run the above program, which will produce the following result:
cosh(0.000000) = 1.000000 cosh(0.500000) = 1.127626 cosh(1.000000) = 1.543081 cosh(1.500000) = 2.352410 cosh(2.000000) = 3.762196
Code explanation
- the code attempts to calculate
cosh(1000.0), which is an input value that may cause overflow. errnois reset to 0, and then callcosh(x)。- Checks
errnoWhether it equalsERANGE, and if so, print an overflow error message. - If there are no errors, print the computed result.
Summary
cosh()The function is used to calculate the hyperbolic cosine of a given value, and is an important tool for handling hyperbolic function operations. When using it, one should pay attention to handling possible overflow errors. Through reasonable usecosh()function, which can provide accurate results in mathematical calculations, physical simulations, and engineering applications.
