tanh(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True, signature, extobj)
Compute hyperbolic tangent element-wise.
Equivalent to ``np.sinh(x)/np.cosh(x)`` or ``-1j * np.tan(1j*x)``.
Parameters ---------- x : array_like Input array. out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs. where : array_like, optional This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is True, the `out` array will be set to the ufunc result. Elsewhere, the `out` array will retain its original value. Note that if an uninitialized `out` array is created via the default ``out=None``, locations within it where the condition is False will remain uninitialized. **kwargs For other keyword-only arguments, see the :ref:`ufunc docs <ufuncs.kwargs>`.
Returns ------- y : ndarray The corresponding hyperbolic tangent values. This is a scalar if `x` is a scalar.
Notes ----- If `out` is provided, the function writes the result into it, and returns a reference to `out`. (See Examples)
