"""
This script demonstrates the implementation of the tangent hyperbolic
or tanh function.
The function takes a vector of K real numbers as input and
then (e^x - e^(-x))/(e^x + e^(-x)). After through tanh, the
element of the vector mostly -1 between 1.

Implements the tanh function
Parameters:
vector: np.array
Returns:
tanh (np.array): The input numpy array after applying tanh.
mathematically (e^x - e^(-x))/(e^x + e^(-x)) can be written as (2/(1+e^(-2x))-1
Examples:
>>> tangent_hyperbolic(np.array([1,5,6,-0.67]))
array([ 0.76159416, 0.9999092 , 0.99998771, -0.58497988])
>>> tangent_hyperbolic(np.array([8,10,2,-0.98,13]))
array([ 0.99999977, 1. , 0.96402758, -0.7530659 , 1. ])
