Range error: result overflow

errno is set to ERANGE. An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.

NAME

cosh, coshf, coshl - hyperbolic cosine function

LIBRARY

Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

bash

#include <math.h>

bash

double cosh(double \nx\n);\n
\nfloat coshf(float \nx\n);\n
\nlong double coshl(long double \nx\n);

coshf(), coshl():

DESCRIPTION

These functions return the hyperbolic cosine of x, which is defined mathematically as:

bash

cosh(x) = (exp(x) + exp(-x)) / 2

RETURN VALUE

On success, these functions return the hyperbolic cosine of x.

If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

If x is +0 or -0, 1 is returned.

If x is positive infinity or negative infinity, positive infinity is returned.

If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return +HUGE_VAL, +HUGE_VALF, or +HUGE_VALL, respectively.

ERRORS

See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.

The following errors can occur:

Range error: result overflow: errno is set to ERANGE. An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.

ATTRIBUTES

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

Interface	Attribute	Value

STANDARDS

C11, POSIX.1-2008.

HISTORY

C99, POSIX.1-2001.

The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD.

BUGS

In glibc 2.3.4 and earlier, an overflow floating-point (FE_OVERFLOW) exception is not raised when an overflow occurs.
