In this C++ tutorial, you will learn how to find the inverse hyperbolic sine of a given number using asinh() function of cmath, with syntax and examples.

C++ asinh()

C++ asinh() returns arc (inverse) hyperbolic sine of a given number in radians.

Syntax

The syntax of C++ asinh() is

asinh(x)

where

ParameterDescription
xA double, float, or long double value.

Returns

The return value depends on the type of value passed for parameter x.

The return value of asinh(x) is

  • double if x is double.
  • float if x is float.
  • long double if x is long double.

The synopsis of asinh() function is

double asinh(double x);
float asinh(float x);
long double asinh(long double x);
double asinh(T x); // For integral type

asinh() is a function of cmath library. Include cmath library at start of the program, if using asinh() function.

Example

In this example, we read a value from user into x, and find its inverse hyperbolic sine value using asinh() function.

C++ Program

#include <iostream>
#include<cmath>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    double x;
    cout << "Enter a number : ";
    cin >> x;
    
    double result = asinh(x);
    cout << "asinh(" << x << ") : " << result << " radians" << endl;
}

Output

Enter a number : 25
asinh(25) : 3.91242 radians
Program ended with exit code: 0
Enter a number : 0
asinh(0) : 0 radians
Program ended with exit code: 0
Enter a number : -65
asinh(-65) : -4.86759 radians
Program ended with exit code: 0

Conclusion

In this C++ Tutorial, we learned the syntax of C++ asinh(), and how to use this function to find the inverse hyperbolic sine of given value, with the help of examples.
