@stdlib/math-base-special-cabs

cabs

Compute the absolute value of a double-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.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-cabs

Usage

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

cabs( z )

Computes an absolute value of a double-precision complex floating-point number.

var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float64' );

var y = cabs( new Complex128( 5.0, 3.0 ) );
// returns ~5.83

Examples

var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float64' );
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' );
var cabs = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-cabs' );

var z;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    z = new Complex128( discreteUniform( -50, 50 ), discreteUniform( -50, 50 ) );
    console.log( 'cabs(%s) = %d', z.toString(), cabs( z ) );
}

C APIs

Usage

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

stdlib_base_cabs( z )

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

#include <complex.h>

double y = stdlib_base_cabs( 5.0+3.0*I );
// returns ~5.83

The function accepts the following arguments:

• z: [in] double complex input value.

double stdlib_base_cabs( const double complex z );

Examples

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

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

    double complex v;
    double y;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        v = x[ i ];
        y = stdlib_base_cabs( v );
        printf( "f(%lf + %lf) = %lf\n", creal( v ), cimag( v ), y );
    }
}
