C program using tanh function

The following program shows the use of tanh function to calculate hyperbolic tangent of an angle in radian.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(){
    double value, radian;
    printf("Enter a number\n");
    scanf("%lf", &radian);
    
    value = tanh(radian);
    printf("The hyperbolic tangent of %lf is %lf\n", radian, value);
        
    return 0;
}

Output

Enter a number
0.5
The hyperbolic tangent of 0.500000 is 0.462117
