* Flux 0.22.0+

InfluxDB support

`math.tanh()` returns the hyperbolic tangent of `x`.

##### Function type signature

```js
(x: float) => float
```

For more information, see [Function type signatures](/flux/v0/function-type-signatures/).

## Parameters

### x

(Required)
Value to operate on.

## Examples

* [Return the hyperbolic tangent of a value](#return-the-hyperbolic-tangent-of-a-value)
* [Use math.tanh in map](#use-mathtanh-in-map)

### Return the hyperbolic tangent of a value

```
import "math"

math.tanh(x: 1.23)// 0.8425793256589296

```

### Use math.tanh in map

```js
import "math"
import "sampledata"

sampledata.float()
    |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with _value: math.tanh(x: r._value)}))
```
