 ====== Tan ======
-Returns the **tangent** of a number. The Cubloc uses **radians** as units. Use a ''Single'' for the most precise results.
+The Tan function returns the tangent of a numeric value.
+Tangent is a fundamental trigonometric function that represents the ratio between the opposite side and the adjacent side ($\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$) of a right triangle for a given angle. It is widely used in calculations involving slopes, camera perspectives in graphics, and various engineering applications where angular ratios are required.
-If your input is in degrees, you must convert it to radians:
+On the Cubloc platform, all trigonometric functions—including Tan—use **radians** to measure angles.
-$rad = deg \times (\frac{\pi}{180})$
+For the highest degree of precision, especially when calculating steep slopes or rapid transitions, it is recommended to use the ''Single'' data type for the input value.
+Tan accepts any real number as an angle (except for values where the cosine is zero, such as $\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2}$, etc.) and returns the corresponding tangent ratio.
+Example
 <code xbasic>
 Dim A As Single
 Dim B As Single
-B = 0.785398  ' 45 degrees in radians
+B = 0.785398     ' 45 degrees in radians (PI / 4)
-A = Tan(B)    ' Return the tangent of B (Approx. 1.0)
+A = Tan(B)       ' Returns the tangent of B (approx. 1.0)
 </code>
+==== Explanation: ====
+  * **B** should contain an angle expressed in radians. (To convert degrees to radians: $rad = deg \times \frac{\pi}{180}$)
+  * **Tan B** calculates the tangent of that angle.
+  * The resulting value—often used for gradient calculations or mapping angular movement to linear coordinates—is stored in **A**.
 ====== Tanh ======
-Returns the **hyperbolic tangent** of a number. The Cubloc uses **radians** as units. The output of ''Tanh'' always stays between -1.0 and 1.0. Use a ''Single'' for the most precise results.
+The Tanh function returns the hyperbolic tangent of a numeric value.
+Unlike the standard tangent function used in circular geometry, the hyperbolic tangent is based on the geometry of a hyperbola. It is a crucial function in fields such as neural networks (as an activation function), statistics, and control systems where values need to be smoothly mapped or "squashed" into a specific range.
+On the Cubloc platform, hyperbolic functions—including Tanh—use **radians** as the unit for the input value.
+For the most accurate results, particularly when used in recursive algorithms or signal processing, the ''Single'' data type is recommended.
+One of the most important characteristics of Tanh is that it always returns a value in the range of **-1.0 to +1.0**, regardless of how large or small the input is.
+Example
 <code xbasic>
 Dim A As Single
 Dim B As Single
 B = 0.5
-A = Tanh(B)   ' Return the hyperbolic tangent of B
+A = Tanh(B)      ' Returns the hyperbolic tangent of B

-[[..:index|CUBLOC]]
+==== Explanation: ====
+  * **B** represents a real number, often serving as an input to a sigmoid-like curve.
+  * **Tanh B** computes the hyperbolic tangent using the exponential definition: $$\frac{e^{x} - e^{-x}}{e^{x} + e^{-x}}$$
+  * The resulting value—guaranteed to be between -1.0 and 1.0—is stored in **A**, making it ideal for normalizing data or creating smooth transition thresholds.
