Defined in header <math.h>
float       coshf( float arg );	(1)	(since C99)
double      cosh( double arg );	(2)
long double coshl( long double arg );	(3)	(since C99)
Defined in header <tgmath.h>
#define cosh( arg )	(4)	(since C99)

1-3) Computes the hyperbolic cosine of arg.

4) Type-generic macro: If the argument has type long double, coshl is called. Otherwise, if the argument has integer type or the type double, cosh is called. Otherwise, coshf is called. If the argument is complex, then the macro invokes the corresponding complex function (ccoshf, ccosh, ccoshl).

Parameters

arg

-

floating point value representing a hyperbolic angle

Return value

If no errors occur, the hyperbolic cosine of arg (cosh(arg), or

earg +e-arg

2

) is returned.

If a range error due to overflow occurs, +HUGE_VAL, +HUGE_VALF, or +HUGE_VALL is returned.

Error handling

Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),

• if the argument is ±0, 1 is returned
• If the argument is ±∞, +∞ is returned
• if the argument is NaN, NaN is returned

Notes

For the IEEE-compatible type double, if |arg| > 710.5, then cosh(arg) overflows.

Example

Run this code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <fenv.h>
 
#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON
int main(void)
{
    printf("cosh(1) = %f\ncosh(-1)= %f\n", cosh(1), cosh(-1));
    printf("log(sinh(1) + cosh(1))=%f\n", log(sinh(1)+cosh(1)));
    // special values
    printf("cosh(+0) = %f\ncosh(-0) = %f\n", cosh(0.0), cosh(-0.0));
    // error handling 
    errno=0; feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
    printf("cosh(710.5) = %f\n", cosh(710.5));
    if(errno == ERANGE) perror("    errno == ERANGE");
    if(fetestexcept(FE_OVERFLOW)) puts("    FE_OVERFLOW raised");
}

Possible output:

cosh(1) = 1.543081
cosh(-1)= 1.543081
log(sinh(1) + cosh(1))=1.000000
cosh(+0) = 1.000000
cosh(-0) = 1.000000
cosh(710.5) = inf
    errno == ERANGE: Numerical result out of range
    FE_OVERFLOW raised
