Modular Exponentiation of Complex Numbers (original) (raw)
Last Updated : 12 Jul, 2025
Given four integers A, B, K, M. The task is to find (A + iB)K % M which is a complex number too. A + iB represents a complex number. Examples:
Input : A = 2, B = 3, K = 4, M = 5 Output: 1 + i*0 Input : A = 7, B = 3, K = 10, M = 97 Output: 25 + i*29
Prerequisite: Modular Exponentiation Approach: An efficient approach is similar to the modular exponentiation of a single number. Here, instead of a single we have two number A, B. So, pass a pair of integers as a parameter to the function instead of a single number. Below is the implementation of the above approach :
C++ `
#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;
// Function to multiply two complex numbers modulo M pair<int, int> Multiply (pair<int, int> p, pair<int, int> q, int M) { // Multiplication of two complex numbers is // (a + ib)(c + id) = (ac - bd) + i(ad + bc)
int x = ((p.first * q.first) % M - (p.second *
q.second) % M + M) % M;
int y = ((p.first * q.second) % M + (p.second *
q.first) % M) %M;
// Return the multiplied value
return {x, y};}
// Function to calculate the complex modular exponentiation pair<int, int> compPow(pair<int, int> complex, int k, int M) { // Here, res is initialised to (1 + i0) pair<int, int> res = { 1, 0 };
while (k > 0)
{
// If k is odd
if (k & 1)
{
// Multiply 'complex' with 'res'
res = Multiply(res, complex, M);
}
// Make complex as complex*complex
complex = Multiply(complex, complex, M);
// Make k as k/2
k = k >> 1;
}
//Return the required answer
return res;}
// Driver code int main() {
int A = 7, B = 3, k = 10, M = 97;
// Function call
pair<int, int> ans = compPow({A, B}, k, M);
cout << ans.first << " + i" << ans.second;
return 0;}

int x = ((p.first * q.first) % M -
(p.second * q.second) % M + M) % M;
int y = ((p.first * q.second) % M +
(p.second * q.first) % M) % M;
// Return the multiplied value
return new pair(x, y);}
// Function to calculate the // complex modular exponentiation static pair compPow(pair complex, int k, int M) { // Here, res is initialised to (1 + i0) pair res = new pair(1, 0 );
while (k > 0)
{
// If k is odd
if (k % 2 == 1)
{
// Multiply 'complex' with 'res'
res = Multiply(res, complex, M);
}
// Make complex as complex*complex

// Make k as k/2
k = k >> 1;
}
// Return the required answer
return res;}

// Function call
pair ans = compPow(new pair(A, B), k, M);
System.out.println(ans.first + " + i" +
ans.second); } }
