Calculates the hyperbolic cosine of a complex number

#include <complex.h> double complex ccosh ( double complex z ); float complex ccoshf ( float complex z ); long double complex ccoshl ( long double complex z );

The hyperbolic cosine of a complex number z is equal to (exp(z) + exp(-z)) / 2. The ccosh functions return the hyperbolic cosine of their complex argument.

Example

double complex v, w, z = 1.2 - 3.4 * I; v = ccosh( z ); w = 0.5 * ( cexp(z) + cexp(-z) ); printf( "The ccosh( ) function returns %.2f %+.2f*I.\n", creal(v), cimag(v) ); printf( "Using the cexp( ) function, the result is %.2f %+.2f*I.\n", creal(w), cimag(w) );

This code produces the following output:

The ccosh( ) function returns -1.75 +0.39*I. Using the cexp( ) function, the result is -1.75 +0.39*I.
