    Help With Complex Number Calculator

    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    int main()
    {
      int a,b,c,d,x,y;
      printf("\nEnter the first complex number:");
      scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);
      printf("\nEnter the second complex number:");
      scanf("%d%d",&c,&d);
      if(b<0)
          printf("%d-i\n",a-b);
      else
          printf("d+i\n",a+b);
      if(d<0)
          printf("d-i\n",c-d);
      else
          printf("%d+i\n",c+d);
      printf("\nADDITION ");
      x=a+c;
      y=b+d;
      if(y>0)
          printf("%d-i%d",x,-y);
      else
          printf("%d+i%d",x,+y);
    printf("\n\nSUBTRACTION ");
      x=a-c;
      y=b-d;
      if(y<0)
          printf("%d-i%d",x,-y);
      else
          printf("%d+i%d",x,+y);
    return 0;
    }
    I was wondering how you would put do multiplication , division, and computation of the conjugate? Help Please

    This sounds like mostly a question of mathematics. In terms of programming, you can make it easier by defining a complex number struct. (Note that <complex.h> is provided by the C standard library, though I think it is only from the 1999 edition of the C standard.)

    As in the struct? It could be as simple as:
    Code:
    struct Complex
    {
        int real;
        int imaginary;
    };
