complex

template<class Ty>
    class complex {
public:
    typedef Ty value_type;
    Ty real() const;
    Ty imag() const;
    complex(const Ty& realval = 0, const Ty& imagval = 0);
    complex(const complex& right);
    complex& operator=(const complex& right);
    complex& operator+=(const complex& right);
    complex& operator-=(const complex& right);
    complex& operator*=(const complex& right);
    complex& operator/=(const complex& right);
    complex& operator=(const Ty& right);
    complex& operator=(const Ty& right);
    complex& operator+=(const Ty& right);
    complex& operator-=(const Ty& right);
    complex& operator*=(const Ty& right);
    complex& operator/=(const Ty& right);
    };

The template class doesn't really exist. It is a convenient fiction for describing the behavior common to the two types:

• double_complex -- which behaves like complex<double>
• float_complex -- which behaves like complex<float>

The template class describes an object that stores two objects of type Ty, one that represents the real part of a complex number and one that represents the imaginary part.

complex::complex

complex(const Ty& realval = 0, const Ty& imagval = 0);
complex(const complex& right);

The first constructor initializes the stored real part to realval and the stored imaginary part to imagval. The second constructor initializes the stored real part to right.real() and the stored imaginary part to right.imag().

complex::imag

Ty imag() const;

The member function returns the stored imaginary part.

complex::operator*=

complex& operator*=(const complex& right);
complex& operator*=(const Ty& right);

The first member function replaces the stored real and imaginary parts with those corresponding to the complex product of *this and right. It then returns *this.

The second member function multiplies both the stored real part and the stored imaginary part with right. It then returns *this.

complex::operator+=

complex& operator+=(const complex& right);
complex& operator+=(const Ty& right);

The first member function replaces the stored real and imaginary parts with those corresponding to the complex sum of *this and right. It then returns *this.

The second member function adds right to the stored real part. It then returns *this.

complex::operator-=

complex& operator-=(const complex& right);
complex& operator-=(const Ty& right);

The first member function replaces the stored real and imaginary parts with those corresponding to the complex difference of *this and right. It then returns *this.

The second member function subtracts right from the stored real part. It then returns *this.

complex::operator/=

complex& operator/=(const complex& right);
complex& operator/=(const Ty& right);

The first member function replaces the stored real and imaginary parts with those corresponding to the complex quotient of *this and right. It then returns *this.

The second member function multiplies both the stored real part and the stored imaginary part with right. It then returns *this.

complex::operator=

complex& operator=(const complex& right);
complex& operator=(const Ty& right);

The first member function replaces the stored real part with right.real() and the stored imaginary part with right.imag(). It then returns *this.

The second member function replaces the stored real part with right and the stored imaginary part with zero. It then returns *this.

Ty real() const;

The member function returns the stored real part.

class double_complex : public complex<double> {
public:
    double_complex(double realval = 0, double imagval = 0);
    double_complex(const float_complex& right);
    double_complex& operator=(const double right);
    };

The class describes an object that stores two objects of type double, one that represents the real part of a complex number and one that represents the imaginary part. The class differs from its fictitious base class complex<double> only in the constructors it defines. The first constructor initializes the stored real part to realval and the stored imaginary part to imagval. The second constructor initializes the stored real part to right.real() and the stored imaginary part to right.imag(). The assignment operator stores right in the stored real part and zero in the stored imaginary part.

The function returns the exponential of left.

float_complex

class float_complex : public complex<float> {
public:
    float_complex(float realval = 0, float imagval = 0);
    explicit float_complex(const double_complex& right);
    float_complex& operator=(const float right);
    };

The class describes an object that stores two objects of type float, one that represents the real part of a complex number and one that represents the imaginary part. The class differs from its fictitious base class complex<float> only in the constructors it defines. The first constructor initializes the stored real part to realval and the stored imaginary part to imagval. The second constructor initializes the stored real part to right.real() and the stored imaginary part to right.imag().

    const double_complex& right);
bool operator!=(const float_complex& left,
    const float_complex& right);
bool operator!=(const float_complex& left,
    const float& right);
bool operator!=(const float& left,
    const float_complex& right);

The operators each return true only if real(left) != real(right) || imag(left) != imag(right).

operator*

double_complex operator*(const double_complex& left,
    const double_complex;& right);
double_complex operator*(const double_complex& left,
    const double& right);

    const double_complex& right);
float_complex operator*(const float_complex& left,
    const float_complex;& right);
float_complex operator*(const float_complex& left,
    const float& right);
float_complex operator*(const float& left,
    const float_complex& right);

The operators each convert both operands to the return type, then return the complex product of the converted left and right.

operator+

double_complex operator+(const double_complex& left,
    const double_complex;& right);
double_complex operator+(const double_complex& left,
    const double& right);
double_complex operator+(const double& left,
    const double_complex& right);
double_complex operator+(const double_complex& left);
float_complex operator+(const float_complex& left,
    const float_complex;& right);
float_complex operator+(const float_complex& left,
    const float& right);
float_complex operator+(const float& left,
    const float_complex& right);
float_complex operator+(const float_complex& left);

The binary operators each convert both operands to the return type, then return the complex sum of the converted left and right.

The unary operator returns left.

operator-

double_complex operator-(const double_complex& left,
    const double_complex;& right);
double_complex operator-(const double_complex& left,
    const double& right);
double_complex operator-(const double& left,
    const double_complex& right);
double_complex operator-(const double_complex& left);
float_complex operator-(const float_complex& left,
    const float_complex;& right);
float_complex operator-(const float_complex& left,
    const float& right);
float_complex operator-(const float& left,
    const float_complex& right);
float_complex operator-(const float_complex& left);

The binary operators each convert both operands to the return type, then return the complex difference of the converted left and right.

The unary operator returns a value whose real part is -real(left) and whose imaginary part is -imag(left).

operator/

double_complex operator/(const double_complex& left,
    const double_complex;& right);

    const float& right);
float_complex operator/(const float& left,
    const float_complex& right);

The operators each convert both operands to the return type, then return the complex quotient of the converted left and right.

operator<<

ostream& operator<<(ostream& ostr,
    const double_complex& right);
ostream& operator<<(ostream& ostr,
    const float_complex& right);

The template function inserts the complex value right in the output stream ostr, effectively by executing:

ostringstream osstr;
osstr.flags(ostr.flags());
osstr.precision(ostr.precision());
osstr << '(' << real(right) << ','
    << imag(right) << ')';
ostr << osstr.str().c_str();

Thus, if ostr.width() is greater than zero, any padding occurs either before or after the parenthesized pair of values, which itself contains no padding. The function returns ostr.

operator==

bool operator==(const double_complex& left,
    const double_complex& right);
bool operator==(const double_complex& left,
    const double& right);
bool operator==(const double& left,

    const float_complex& right);
bool operator==(const float_complex& left,
    const float& right);
bool operator==(const float& left,

The operators each return true only if real(left) == real(right) && imag(left) == imag(right).

operator>>

istream& operator>>(istream& istr,
    double_complex& right);
istream& operator>>(istream& istr,
    float_complex& right);

The template function attempts to extract a complex value from the input stream istr, effectively by executing:

istr >> ch && ch == '('
    && istr >> re >> ch && ch == ','
    && istr >> im >> ch && ch == ')'

Here, ch is an object of type char, and re and im are objects of the same type as right.real().

If the result of this expression is true, the function stores re in the real part and im in the imaginary part of right. In any event, the function returns istr.

polar

double_complex polar(const double& rho,
    const double& theta = 0);
float_complex polar(const float& rho,
    const float& theta);

float_complex pow(const float_complex& left,
    const float_complex& right);
float_complex pow(const Ty& left, const float_complex& right);
