<br />

    tf.keras.activations.tanh(
        x
    )

#### Example:

    a = tf.constant([-3.0, -1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 3.0], dtype = tf.float32)
    b = tf.keras.activations.tanh(a)
    b.numpy()
    array([-0.9950547, -0.7615942,  0.,  0.7615942,  0.9950547], dtype=float32)

| ## Args ||
|---|---|
| `x` | Input tensor. |

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

| ## Returns ||
|---|---|
| Tensor of same shape and dtype of input `x`, with tanh activation: `tanh(x) = sinh(x)/cosh(x) = ((exp(x) - exp(-x))/(exp(x) + exp(-x)))`. ||
