TANH(3G)

🌸 TANH(3G) — aka the hyperbolic tangent girlie 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to tanh, a 3G manual page, and she's here to hand you back the hyperbolic tangent of whatever you pass her. That's it. That's the whole job. And she ate. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

tanh — return the hyperbolic tangent of the parameter 🦋

---

🎀 DECLARATION 🎀

genType tanh(genType x);

No cap, that's the whole signature. Look at her. So clean. So iconic. 👑

---

💖 PARAMETERS 💖

• x — the value whose hyperbolic tangent you want back. Hand her the number, she hands you the vibe. 🫶

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

tanh returns the hyperbolic tangent of x, periodt. And if you're wondering how she's computing it, the hyperbolic tangent of x is computed as:

sinh ⁡ x
────────
cosh ⁡ x

(that's sinh x over cosh x, in case the fraction rendering is being dramatic on your terminal 💀)

⭐ VERSION SUPPORT ⭐

So here's the tea on when tanh showed up in OpenGL Shading Language, by version. She was NOT invited to the first two parties, and then she was EVERYWHERE after that. Main character energy fr fr. ✨

and that's the page, bestie 🫶 this was TANH(3G), rendered from the [FIXME: source] source and dated 01/03/2018 — she's a little vintage, she's a little FIXME, and honestly? obsessed. bye bestie, go compute some tangents. 🌸✨👑
