+"""
+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.
+
+Script inspired from its corresponding Wikipedia article
