JavaScript | Math.cosh() function

Math.cosh() is an inbuilt function in JavaScript which is used to calculate the value of hyperbolic cosine of a number.

Syntax:

Math.cosh(p)

    Parameter: This function accepts single parameter p, which is a number for which the value of hyperbolic cosine is going to be calculated.

    Returns: It returns the calculated value of hyperbolic cosine of the number.

Examples:



Input  : Math.cosh(0)

Output : 1

Explanation:
Here formula for calculating hyperbolic cosine of any number is : The number e is a mathematical constant having an approximate value equal to 2.718.

\frac{e^{p} + e^{-p}}{2} = \frac{e^{0} + e^{-0}}{2}

=\frac{1+1}{2}
= 1

In the same way, hyperbolic cosine of any number can be calculated just after replacing p with the desired number.

Input  :Math.cosh(12)

Output :81377.39571257407

Explanation:
Here same as above calculation, when we put 12 instead of p then the value becomes as output shown above.

Let’s see some JavaScript code:

  • Example 1:
    filter_none

    edit
    close

    play_arrow

    link
    brightness_4
    code

    <script>
      // Printing hyperbolic cosine of some numbers
      // taken as parameter of Math.cosh() function.
      document.write(Math.cosh(0) + "<br>");
      document.write(Math.cosh(1) + "<br>");
      document.write(Math.cosh(0) + "<br>");
      document.write(Math.cosh(22) + "<br>");
      document.write(Math.cosh(-2) + "<br>");
      document.write(Math.cosh(4));
    </script>

    chevron_right

    

    

    
                        filter_none
    

    

    

    

    Output:
    

     1

  • Example 2: Errors and Exceptions, it is an error case because complex number can not be taken as the parameter of the function only integer value can be taken as the parameter.

                                        play_arrow

    <script> 
    

      // complex number can not be calculated as the  
    

      //hyperbolic cosine. 
    

      document.write(Math.cosh(1 + 2i)); 
    

    </script>

                        filter_none
    

    

    

    

    Output:
    

    Error: Invalid or unexpected token

  • Example 3: Other than integer nothing is accepted as the parameter of the function that is why here string as the parameter gives NaN i.e, not a number.

      // Any string value as the parameter of the function 
    

      // gives NaN i.e, not a number

      document.write(Math.cosh("gfg"));

    Application: Its practical application is that whenever we need to find the value of hyperbolic cosine of a number that time we take the help of Math.cosh() function in JavaScript.
    
Example:
    

    

    

    

    

    
                                    filter_none
    

    

                                        edit
    
                                    close
    

    

                                        play_arrow
    

    

                                        link
    
                                    brightness_4
    
                                    code
                                
    

    

    

    

    

    

    


    


    

    <script> 
    

      // Printing hyperbolic cosine of some numbers from 0 to 9 
    

      // taken as parameter of Math.cosh() function. 
    

      for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { 
    

          document.write(Math.cosh(i) + "<br>"); 
    

      } 
    

    </script> 
    

    
    		

    
    

    

    

    

    

    

    
                        chevron_right
