    There is a STL templated complex number class:

    For example:
    Code:
    #include <complex>
    
    typedef std::complex<double> complex;
    
    int main()
    {
        complex c(2.9, 3.5), d(3.54, 3.5), e; // constructor: complex(real, imaginary)
        e = c + d;
        // etc.
    }
    The normal arithmetic operators are defined for it as well as == and !=.

    The functions defined for it are:

    complex.real()
    complex.imag()

    conj(complex)
    abs(complex)
    arg(complex)
    norm(complex)
    polar(complex)
