std::complex

Defined in header <complex> 
template< class T >
class complex;
 (1) 
template<> class complex<float>;
 (2) 
template<> class complex<double>;
 (3) 
template<> class complex<long double>;
 (4)

The specializations std::complex<float>, std::complex<double>, and std::complex<long double> are LiteralTypes for representing and manipulating complex numbers.

The effect of instantiating the template complex for any other type is unspecified.

Non-static data members

For any object z of type complex<T>, reinterpret_cast<T(&)[2]>(z)[0] is the real part of z and reinterpret_cast<T(&)[2]>(z)[1] is the imaginary part of z.

For any pointer to an element of an array of complex<T> named p and any valid array index i, reinterpret_cast<T*>(p)[2*i] is the real part of the complex number p[i], and reinterpret_cast<T*>(p)[2*i + 1] is the imaginary part of the complex number p[i]

These requirements essentially limit implementation of each of the three specializations of std::complex to declaring two and only two non-static data members, of type value_type, with the same member access, which hold the real and the imaginary components, respectively.

 (since C++11)

Literals

Defined in inline namespace std::literals::complex_literals
(C++14)
 A std::complex literal representing pure imaginary number
(function)

Example 

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <complex>
#include <cmath>
 
int main()
{
    using namespace std::literals;
    std::cout << std::fixed << std::setprecision(1);
 
    std::complex<double> z1 = 1i * 1i;     // imaginary unit squared
    std::cout << "i * i = " << z1 << '\n';
 
    std::complex<double> z2 = std::pow(1i, 2); // imaginary unit squared
    std::cout << "pow(i, 2) = " << z2 << '\n';
 
    double PI = std::acos(-1);
    std::complex<double> z3 = std::exp(1i * PI); // Euler's formula
    std::cout << "exp(i, pi) = " << z3 << '\n';
 
    std::complex<double> z4 = 1. + 2i, z5 = 1. - 2i; // conjugates
    std::cout << "(1+2i)*(1-2i) = " << z4*z5 << '\n';
}

Output:

i * i = (-1.0,0.0)
pow(i, 2) = (-1.0,0.0)
exp(i, pi) = (-1.0,0.0)
(1+2i)*(1-2i) = (5.0,0.0)
