# mars.tensor.tanh¶

mars.tensor.tanh(x, out=None, where=None, **kwargs)[source]

Compute hyperbolic tangent element-wise.

Equivalent to mt.sinh(x)/np.cosh(x) or -1j * mt.tan(1j*x).

x : array_like
Input tensor.
out : Tensor, None, or tuple of Tensor and None, optional
A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated tensor is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.
where : array_like, optional
Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, values of False indicate to leave the value in the output alone.

**kwargs

y : Tensor
The corresponding hyperbolic tangent values.

If out is provided, the function writes the result into it, and returns a reference to out. (See Examples)
