What is math.cosh() in Python?
The cosh() function returns the hyperbolic cosine of a number. To be more specific, it returns the hyperbolic cosine of a number in the radians.
Figure 1 shows the mathematical representation of the cosh() function.
Note: The
mathmodule is required for this function.
Syntax
cosh(num)
Parameter
This function requires a number that represents an angle in radians as a parameter.
In order to convert degrees to radians, use the following formula:
radians = degrees * ( pi / 180.0 )
Return value
cosh() returns the hyperbolic cosine of a number (radians) that is sent as a parameter.
Example
import math#positive number in radiansprint "The value of cosh(2.3) : ", math.cosh(2.3)#negative number in radiansprint "The value of cosh(-2.3) : ", math.cosh(-2.3)#converting the degrees angle into radians and then applying cosh()#degrees = 180#PI = 3.14159265result = 180.0 * (math.pi / 180.0)print "The value of cosh("+str(result)+") : ", math.cosh(result)
