{{InteractiveExample("JavaScript Demo: Math.tanh()")}}

```js interactive-example
console.log(Math.tanh(-1));
// Expected output: -0.7615941559557649

console.log(Math.tanh(0));
// Expected output: 0

console.log(Math.tanh(Infinity));
// Expected output: 1

console.log(Math.tanh(1));
// Expected output: 0.7615941559557649
```

## Syntax

```js-nolint
Math.tanh(x)
```

### Parameters

- `x`
  - : A number.

### Return value

The hyperbolic tangent of `x`.

## Description

Because `tanh()` is a static method of `Math`, you always use it as `Math.tanh()`, rather than as a method of a `Math` object you created (`Math` is not a constructor).

## Examples

### Using Math.tanh()

```js
Math.tanh(-Infinity); // -1
Math.tanh(-0); // -0
Math.tanh(0); // 0
Math.tanh(1); // 0.7615941559557649
Math.tanh(Infinity); // 1
```
