$atanh (aggregation)

  • $atanh

New in version 4.2.

Returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent (hyperbolic arc tangent) ofa value.

$atanh has the following syntax:

  1. { $atanh: <expression> }

$atanh takes any valid expression that resolves to a number between -1and 1, e.g. -1 <= value <= 1.

$atanh returns values in radians. Use$radiansToDegrees operator to convert the output valuefrom radians to degrees.

By default $atanh returns values as a double.$atanh can also return values as a128-bit decimalas long as the <expression> resolves to a 128-bit decimal value.

For more information on expressions, seeExpressions.

Behavior

null, NaN, and +/- Infinity

If the argument resolves to a value of null or refers to a fieldthat is missing, $atanh returns null. If theargument resolves to NaN, $atanh returns NaN.If the argument resolves to negative or positive infinity,$atanh throws an error. If the argument resolves to+1 or -1, $atanh returns Infinity and-Infinity respectively.

ExampleResults
{ $atanh: NaN }NaN
{ $atanh: null }null
{ $atanh: 1 }Infinity
{ $atanh: -1}-Infinity
{ $atanh : Infinity}or{ $atanh : -Infinity }Throws an error message resembling the following formattedoutput:
  1. "errmsg" : "Failed to optimize pipeline :: caused by :: cannot apply $atanh to -inf, value must in (-inf,inf)"

Example

  • Inverse Hyperbolic Tangent of Value in Degrees
  • Inverse Hyperbolic Tangent of Value in Radians

The trigonometry collection contains a document thatstores a value along the x axis of a 2-D graph:

  1. {
  2. "_id" : ObjectId("5c50782193f833234ba90d85"),
  3. "x-coordinate" : NumberDecimal("0.5")
  4. }

The following aggregation operation uses the$atanh expression to calculate inverse hyperbolictangent of x-coordinate and add it to the input document usingthe $addFields pipeline stage.

  1. db.trigonometry.aggregate([
  2. {
  3. $addFields : {
  4. "y-coordinate" : {
  5. $radiansToDegrees : { $atanh : "$x-coordinate" }
  6. }
  7. }
  8. }
  9. ])

The $radiansToDegrees expression converts theradian value returned by $atanh to the equivalentvalue in degrees.

The command returns the following output:

  1. {
  2. "_id" : ObjectId("5c50782193f833234ba90d85"),
  3. "x-coordinate" : NumberDecimal("0.5"),
  4. "y-coordinate" : NumberDecimal("31.47292373094538001977241539068589")
  5. }

Since x-coordinate is stored as a128-bit decimal, the output of$atanh is a 128-bit decimal.
