HYPSIN   
 
PURPOSE: Returns the value of the hyperbolic sine of the argument. 
FORMAT: 
The parenthesis enclosing the argument can be omitted when the argument is a 
numeric value or variable. 
EXAMPLE:  HYPSIN (1.5) 
PARAMETERS:  argument must be within the [-230.2585092 , +230.2585092] range. 
EXPLANATION: 
1.  The mathematical formula for hyperbolic sine is : 
sinh(x) = (e
x
 - e
-x
) / 2 where e is 2.7182818284590452353602874713526... 
2.  The returned value is in the ]-5x10
99
 , 5x10
99
[ range.

HYPTAN   
 
PURPOSE: Returns the value of the hyperbolic tangent of the argument. 
FORMAT: 
The parenthesis enclosing the argument can be omitted when the argument is a 
numeric value or variable. 
EXAMPLE:  HYPTAN (2.5) 
PARAMETERS:  argument must be within the ]-1x10
100
 , 10
100
[ range. 
EXPLANATION: 
1.  The mathematical formula for hyperbolic tangent is : 
tanh(x) = (e
x
 - e
-x
) / (e
x
 + e
-x
) where e is 2.71828182845904523536028747... 
2.  The returned value is in the ]-1 , 1[ range.

INT   
 
PURPOSE: Returns the largest integer that does not exceed the value of the 
argument. 
FORMAT: 
The parenthesis enclosing the argument can be omitted when the argument is a 
numeric value or variable. 
EXAMPLE:  INT (-1.3) 
PARAMETERS: argument : numeric expression 
EXPLANATION: 
1.  Returns the largest integer, which does not exceed the value of the argument. 
2.  INT(x) is equivalent to FIX(x) when x is positive, and FIX(x)-1 when x is 
negative.
