Complex Number: For details about the complex number, see: complex number algebra C supports mathematical calculation of the complex number. The complex number Z can be expressed as: Z = x + y * I in Cartesian coordinates; x and y are real numbers, and I is a virtual number unit. Number x is called the real part, and number y is the virtual part. In C, a plural number is the real and virtual parts of the floating point type. Both have the same type, whether float, double, or long double. Float _ complex: the actual virtual files are all floatdouble _ complex: the actual virtual files are all doublelong double _ complex: the actual virtual files are all long double. If the c source file contains the header file complex. h, complex. h defines complex and I macros. The macro defines complex as synonymous with the keyword _ complex. We can replace _ complex with complex. the following is a simple example.

If crealf (x) is used for float, use creall (x) for long double) cimag (x): Obtain the imaginary part of the plural number (for double). If float is used, use crealf (x). If long double is used, use creall (x) additionally, cos (), exp (), and sqrt () correspond to the plural methods, such as ccos (), cexp (), and csqrt ()
