SINH
returns the hyperbolic sine of n
.
This function takes as an argument any numeric datatype or any nonnumeric datatype that can be implicitly converted to a numeric datatype. If the argument is BINARY_FLOAT
, then the function returns BINARY_DOUBLE
. Otherwise the function returns the same numeric datatype as the argument.
The following example returns the hyperbolic sine of 1:
SELECT SINH(1) "Hyperbolic sine of 1" FROM DUAL; Hyperbolic sine of 1 -------------------- 1.17520119
