conj

Returns the complex conjugate of a complex number.

template<class Type>
   complex<Type> conj(
      const complex<Type>& _ComplexNum
   );

Parameters

• _ComplexNum
  The complex number whose complex conjugate is being returned.

Return Value

The complex conjugate of the input complex number.

Remarks

The complex conjugate of a complex number a + bi is a – bi. The product of a complex number and its conjugate is the norm of the number a2 + b2.

Example

// complex_conj.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <complex>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;

   complex <double> c1 ( 4.0 , 3.0 );
   cout << "The complex number c1 = " << c1 << endl;

   double dr1 = real ( c1 );
   cout << "The real part of c1 is real ( c1 ) = "
        << dr1 << "." << endl;

   double di1 = imag ( c1 );
   cout << "The imaginary part of c1 is imag ( c1 ) = "
        << di1 << "." << endl;

   complex <double> c2 = conj ( c1 );
   cout << "The complex conjugate of c1 is c2 = conj ( c1 )= "
        << c2 << endl;

   double dr2 = real ( c2 );
   cout << "The real part of c2 is real ( c2 ) = "
        << dr2 << "." << endl;

   double di2 = imag ( c2 );
   cout << "The imaginary part of c2 is imag ( c2 ) = "
        << di2 << "." << endl;

   // The real part of the product of a complex number
   // and its conjugate is the norm of the number
   complex <double> c3 = c1 * c2;
   cout << "The norm of (c1 * conj (c1) ) is c1 * c2 = "
        << real( c3 ) << endl;
}

The complex number c1 = (4,3)
The real part of c1 is real ( c1 ) = 4.
The imaginary part of c1 is imag ( c1 ) = 3.
The complex conjugate of c1 is c2 = conj ( c1 )= (4,-3)
The real part of c2 is real ( c2 ) = 4.
The imaginary part of c2 is imag ( c2 ) = -3.
The norm of (c1 * conj (c1) ) is c1 * c2 = 25
