std::conj(std::complex)

Defined in header `<complex>`
	(1)
template< class T > std::complex<T> conj( const std::complex<T>& z );		(until C++20)
template< class T > constexpr std::complex<T> conj( const std::complex<T>& z );		(since C++20)
	(2)
std::complex<float> conj( float z ); template< class DoubleOrInteger > std::complex<double> conj( DoubleOrInteger z ); std::complex<long double> conj( long double z );		(since C++11) (until C++20)
constexpr std::complex<float> conj( float z ); template< class DoubleOrInteger > constexpr std::complex<double> conj( DoubleOrInteger z ); constexpr std::complex<long double> conj( long double z );		(since C++20)

1) Computes the complex conjugate of z by reversing the sign of the imaginary part.

2) Additional overloads are provided for float, double, long double, and all integer types, which are treated as complex numbers with zero imaginary component. (since C++11)

Parameters

complex value

Return value

The complex conjugate of z.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <complex>
 
int main()
{
    std::complex<double> z(1,2);
    std::cout << "The conjugate of " << z << " is " << std::conj(z) << '\n'
              << "Their product is " << z*std::conj(z) << '\n';
}

Output:

The conjugate of (1,2) is (1,-2)
Their product is (5,0)

abs(std::complex)	returns the magnitude of a complex number (function template)
norm	returns the squared magnitude (function template)
polar	constructs a complex number from magnitude and phase angle (function template)
