# std::sinh(std::complex)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | numeric‎ | complex

Defined in header `<complex>` |  |
template< class T > complex<T> sinh( const complex<T>& z ); |  | (since C++11)

Computes complex hyperbolic sine of a complex value `z`.

### [edit] Parameters

z | - | complex value

### [edit] Return value

If no errors occur, complex hyperbolic sine of `z` is returned

### [edit] Error handling and special values

Errors are reported consistent with math_errhandling

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic,

- std::sinh(std::conj(z)) == std::conj(std::sinh(z))
- std::sinh(z) == -std::sinh(-z)
- If `z` is `(+0,+0)`, the result is `(+0,+0)`
- If `z` is `(+0,+∞)`, the result is `(±0,NaN)` (the sign of the real part is unspecified) and FE_INVALID is raised
- If `z` is `(+0,NaN)`, the result is `(±0,NaN)`
- If `z` is `(x,+∞)` (for any positive finite x), the result is `(NaN,NaN)` and FE_INVALID is raised
- If `z` is `(x,NaN)` (for any positive finite x), the result is `(NaN,NaN)` and FE_INVALID may be raised
- If `z` is `(+∞,+0)`, the result is `(+∞,+0)`
- If `z` is `(+∞,y)` (for any positive finite y), the result is `(+∞,cis(y))`
- If `z` is `(+∞,+∞)`, the result is `(±∞,NaN)` (the sign of the real part is unspecified) and FE_INVALID is raised
- If `z` is `(+∞,NaN)`, the result is `(±∞,NaN)` (the sign of the real part is unspecified)
- If `z` is `(NaN,+0)`, the result is `(NaN,+0)`
- If `z` is `(NaN,y)` (for any finite nonzero y), the result is `(NaN,NaN)` and FE_INVALID may be raised
- If `z` is `(NaN,NaN)`, the result is `(NaN,NaN)`

where cis(y) is cos(y) + i sin(y)

### [edit] Notes

Mathematical definition of hyperbolic sine is sinh z =

ez -e-z
2

Hyperbolic sine is an entire function in the complex plane and has no branch cuts. It is periodic with respect to the imaginary component, with period 2πi

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>

    int main()
    {
        std::cout << std::fixed;
        std::complex<double> z(1, 0); // behaves like real sinh along the real line
        std::cout << "sinh" << z << " = " << std::sinh(z)
                  << " (sinh(1) = " << std::sinh(1) << ")\n";

        std::complex<double> z2(0, 1); // behaves like sine along the imaginary line
        std::cout << "sinh" << z2 << " = " << std::sinh(z2)
                  << " ( sin(1) = " << std::sin(1) << ")\n";
    }

Output:

    sinh(1.000000,0.000000) = (1.175201,0.000000) (sinh(1) = 1.175201)
    sinh(0.000000,1.000000) = (0.000000,0.841471) ( sin(1) = 0.841471)
