Math.tanh() β€” tanh(0) = 0

πŸ“– Usage Example
// Hyperbolic tangent (output in (-1, 1))
Math.tanh(0)   // β†’ 0
Math.tanh(1)   // β†’ 0.7615...

Use Math.tanh() to compute the hyperbolic tangent, commonly used as an activation function in neural networks.

Math.tanh()

Returns the hyperbolic tangent of a number.

Challenge: Verify that Math.tanh(0) returns 0.

πŸ’‘ Hints (1)
  • β€’ tanh(0) = sinh(0)/cosh(0) = 0/1 = 0
