cabs2f

Compute the squared absolute value of a single-precision complex floating-point number.

The absolute value of a complex number is defined as

which corresponds to the length of a vector from the origin to a complex value plotted in the complex plane.

Usage

var cabs2f = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/cabs2f' );

cabs2f( z )

Computes the squared absolute value of a single-precision complex floating-point number.

var Complex64 = require( '@stdlib/complex/float32/ctor' );

var y = cabs2f( new Complex64( 5.0, 3.0 ) );
// returns 34.0

Notes

Be careful to avoid overflow and underflow.
Depending on the environment, this function may have better performance than computing the absolute value of a complex number and then squaring. Hence, where appropriate, consider using cabs2f() over cabsf().

Examples

var Complex64 = require( '@stdlib/complex/float32/ctor' );
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random/base/discrete-uniform' ).factory;
var cabs2f = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/cabs2f' );

// Create a PRNG to generate uniformly distributed pseudorandom integers:
var rand = discreteUniform( -50, 50 );

// Compute the squared absolute value for a set of random numbers...
var z;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    z = new Complex64( rand(), rand() );
    console.log( 'cabs2f(%s) = %d', z.toString(), cabs2f( z ) );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/cabs2f.h"

stdlib_base_cabs2f( z )

Computes the squared absolute value of a single-precision complex floating-point number.

#include <complex.h>

float y = stdlib_base_cabs2f( 5.0+3.0*I );
// returns 34.0f

The function accepts the following arguments:

z: [in] float complex input value.

float stdlib_base_cabs2f( const float complex z );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/cabs2f.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <complex.h>

int main( void ) {
    const float complex x[] = { 3.14f+1.0f*I, -3.14f-1.0f*I, 0.0f+0.0f*I, 0.0f/0.0f+0.0f/0.0f*I };

    float complex v;
    float y;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        v = x[ i ];
        y = stdlib_base_cabs2f( v );
        printf( "f(%f + %f) = %f\n", crealf( v ), cimagf( v ), y );
    }
