Description

Cpow is a library function in the C programming language, used to calculate powers in the field of complex numbers
It was added to the C programming language, together with complex number support, in the C99 standard.

  double complex cpow(double complex x, double complex y);

This function calculates the power of real number 'x' raised to y-th power ,where y is a complex number .
In mathematics ,by Euler's formula, e^ia = (cos a +i sin a).Here,cos and sin are trigonometric functions.

carg

Prototype

double carg(double complex z);
float cargf(float complex z);
long double cargl(long double complex z);

Description

carg is a standard library function which calculates the argument (phase angle) of a complex number. It takes a single parameter and returns the phase angle of that value (converted if necessary to a complex number) within the range [π, −π].

This function takes a single parameter of type complex and returns a result of type double.

A complex number can be represented:

• in rectangular co-ordinates as $Z=A+Bi$
• in polar co-ordinates as $z=re^{ia}$

where:

• A = creal(Z) is the real part
• B = cimag(Z) is the imaginary part
• r = cabs(z) is the radius
• a = carg(z) is the phase (angle or the argument)

Hence this function returns phase of complex number Z used in polar co-ordinates. The return value is in radians, in the range [π, -π]. When we use this function, we must include the <complex.h> header file.

cimag

Prototype

double cimag(double complex z);
float cimagf(float complex z);
long double cimagl(long double complex z);

Description

cimag is a complex function in c programming. As complex numbers contain two parts, one real part and one imaginary part, this function is used to declare the imaginary part of a complex number. For example, let 'M' be any complex number which can be represented using c functions as follows:

M = creal(M) + cimag(M) * i

where creal(M) = real part of M.

The function returns the imaginary part of the complex no.

The projection of complex floating point-number z onto the Riemann sphere is done by cproj(). But all complex infinities are projected to positive infinity on the real axis.
