std::arg(std::complex) - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

Defined in header
template< class T > T arg( const std::complex<T>& z ); (1)
Additional overloads (since C++11)
Defined in header
(A)
float arg( float f ); double arg( double f ); long double arg( long double f ); (until C++23)
template< class FloatingPoint > FloatingPoint arg( FloatingPoint f ); (since C++23)
template< class Integer > double arg( Integer i ); (B)
  1. Calculates the phase angle (in radians) of the complex number z.
A,B) Additional overloads are provided for all integer and floating-point types, which are treated as complex numbers with zero imaginary component. (since C++11)

[edit] Parameters

z - complex value
f - floating-point value
i - integer value

[edit] Return value

  1. std::atan2(std::imag(z), std::real(z)). If no errors occur, this is the phase angle of z in the interval [−π; π].

A) Zero if f is positive or +0, π if f is negative or -0, NaN otherwise.

B) Zero if i is non-negative, π if it is negative.

[edit] Notes

The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as (A,B). They only need to be sufficient to ensure that for their argument num:

[edit] Example

#include #include   int main() { std::complex z1(1, 0); std::complex z2(0, 0); std::complex z3(0, 1); std::complex z4(-1, 0); std::complex z5(-1, -0.0); double f = 1.; int i = -1;   std::cout << "phase angle of " << z1 << " is " << std::arg(z1) << '\n' << "phase angle of " << z2 << " is " << std::arg(z2) << '\n' << "phase angle of " << z3 << " is " << std::arg(z3) << '\n' << "phase angle of " << z4 << " is " << std::arg(z4) << '\n' << "phase angle of " << z5 << " is " << std::arg(z5) << " " "(the other side of the cut)\n" << "phase angle of " << f << " is " << std::arg(f) << '\n' << "phase angle of " << i << " is " << std::arg(i) << '\n';   }

Output:

phase angle of (1,0) is 0 phase angle of (0,0) is 0 phase angle of (0,1) is 1.5708 phase angle of (-1,0) is 3.14159 phase angle of (-1,-0) is -3.14159 (the other side of the cut) phase angle of 1 is 0 phase angle of -1 is 3.14159
