Calculates the inverse hyperbolic sine.

double asinh(
   double x 
);
float asinh(
   float x 
);  // C++ only
long double asinh(
   long double x
);  // C++ only
float asinhf(
   float x 
);
long double asinhl(
   long double x
);

Parameters

x
Floating-point value.

Return Value

The asinh functions return the inverse hyberbolic sine (arc hyperbolic sine) of x. This function is valid over the floating-point domain. If x is a quiet NaN, indefinite, or infinity, the same value is returned.

Input	SEH Exception	_matherr Exception
± QNAN, IND, INF	none	none

Remarks

When you use C++, you can call overloads of asinh that take and return float or long double values. In a C program, asinh always takes and returns double.

Requirements

Function	C header	C++ header
asinh, asinhf, asinhl	<math.h>	<cmath>

Example

// crt_asinh.c
// Compile by using: cl /W4 crt_asinh.c
// This program displays the hyperbolic sine of pi / 4
// and the arc hyperbolic sine of the result.

#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void )
{
   double pi = 3.1415926535;
   double x, y;

   x = sinh( pi / 4 );
   y = asinh( x );
   printf( "sinh( %f ) = %f\n", pi/4, x );
   printf( "asinh( %f ) = %f\n", x, y );
}

sinh( 0.785398 ) = 0.868671
asinh( 0.868671 ) = 0.785398
