Complex Numbers

Create a complex number.

Usage

var complex = require( '@stdlib/complex/cmplx' );

complex( real, imag[, dtype] )

Creates a complex number, where real and imag are the real and imaginary components, respectively.

var z = complex( 5.0, 3.0 );
// returns <Complex128>

By default, the function returns a 128-bit complex number. To specify an alternative underlying data type, set the dtype parameter to one of the following:

'float64': store real and imaginary components as double-precision floating-point numbers.
'float32': store real and imaginary components as single-precision floating-point numbers.

var z = complex( 5.0, 3.0, 'float32' );
// returns <Complex64>

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random/base/discrete-uniform' ).factory;
var complex = require( '@stdlib/complex/cmplx' );

var rand = discreteUniform( -50, 50 );

var z;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    z = complex( rand(), rand(), 'float64' );
    console.log( z.toString() );
}
