Syntax

Purpose

SINH returns the hyperbolic sine of n.

This function takes as an argument any numeric data type or any nonnumeric data type that can be implicitly converted to a numeric data type. If the argument is BINARY_FLOAT, then the function returns BINARY_DOUBLE. Otherwise the function returns the same numeric data type as the argument.

Examples

The following example returns the hyperbolic sine of 1:

SELECT SINH(1) "Hyperbolic sine of 1" FROM DUAL;

Hyperbolic sine of 1
