csqrtf, csqrt, csqrtl - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

Defined in header <complex.h>
float complex csqrtf( float complex z ); (1) (since C99)
double complex csqrt( double complex z ); (2) (since C99)
long double complex csqrtl( long double complex z ); (3) (since C99)
Defined in header <tgmath.h>
#define sqrt( z ) (4) (since C99)

1-3) Computes the complex square root of z with branch cut along the negative real axis.

  1. Type-generic macro: If z has type long double complex, csqrtl is called. if z has type double complex, csqrt is called, if z has type float complex, csqrtf is called. If z is real or integer, then the macro invokes the corresponding real function (sqrtf, sqrt, sqrtl). If z is imaginary, the corresponding complex number version is called.

[edit] Return value

If no errors occur, returns the square root of z, in the range of the right half-plane, including the imaginary axis ([0; +∞) along the real axis and (−∞; +∞) along the imaginary axis.)

[edit] Error handling and special values

Errors are reported consistent with math_errhandling

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic,

[edit] Example

#include <stdio.h> #include <complex.h>   int main(void) { double complex z1 = csqrt(-4); printf("Square root of -4 is %.1f%+.1fi\n", creal(z1), cimag(z1));   double complex z2 = csqrt(conj(-4)); // or, in C11, CMPLX(-4, -0.0) printf("Square root of -4-0i, the other side of the cut, is " "%.1f%+.1fi\n", creal(z2), cimag(z2)); }

Output:

Square root of -4 is 0.0+2.0i Square root of -4-0i, the other side of the cut, is 0.0-2.0i
