csinh - Linux
Overview
csinh computes the hyperbolic sine of a given value. It is primarily used in mathematical and scientific calculations involving hyperbolic functions.
Syntax
csinh (value)
Options/Flags
None
Examples
Calculate the hyperbolic sine of 1:
echo 1 | csinh
1.1507852381380602
Calculate the hyperbolic sine of a negative number:
echo -2 | csinh
-2.3025850929940456
Common Issues
- NaN (Not a Number) Error: Occurs if the input value is not a valid numeric expression. Ensure the input is a valid number.
Integration
- Can be used with other mathematical commands like
sinh
andtanh
for more complex calculations. - Combine with
printf
to format output:
printf "The hyperbolic sine of %.2f is %.2f\n" 1.5 $(echo 1.5 | csinh)
