|
3 | | -A complex number is a number in the form `a + b * i` where `a` and `b` are real and `i` satisfies `i^2 = -1`. |
| 3 | +A **complex number** is expressed in the form: |
4 | 4 |
|
5 | | -`a` is called the real part and `b` is called the imaginary part of `z`. |
6 | | -The conjugate of the number `a + b * i` is the number `a - b * i`. |
7 | | -The absolute value of a complex number `z = a + b * i` is a real number `|z| = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)`. The square of the absolute value `|z|^2` is the result of multiplication of `z` by its complex conjugate. |
| 5 | +``` |
| 6 | +z = a + b * i |
| 7 | +``` |

|
9 | | -The sum/difference of two complex numbers involves adding/subtracting their real and imaginary parts separately: |
10 | | -`(a + i * b) + (c + i * d) = (a + c) + (b + d) * i`, |
11 | | -`(a + i * b) - (c + i * d) = (a - c) + (b - d) * i`. |
| 9 | +where: |
12 | 10 |
|
13 | | -Multiplication result is by definition |
14 | | -`(a + i * b) * (c + i * d) = (a * c - b * d) + (b * c + a * d) * i`. |
| 11 | +- `a` is the **real part** (a real number), |
15 | 12 |
|
16 | | -The reciprocal of a non-zero complex number is |
17 | | -`1 / (a + i * b) = a/(a^2 + b^2) - b/(a^2 + b^2) * i`. |
| 13 | +- `b` is the **imaginary part** (also a real number), and |
18 | 14 |
|
19 | | -Dividing a complex number `a + i * b` by another `c + i * d` gives: |
20 | | -`(a + i * b) / (c + i * d) = (a * c + b * d)/(c^2 + d^2) + (b * c - a * d)/(c^2 + d^2) * i`. |
| 15 | +- `i` is the imaginary unit satisfying `i^2 = -1`. |
21 | 16 |
|
22 | | -Raising e to a complex exponent can be expressed as `e^(a + i * b) = e^a * e^(i * b)`, the last term of which is given by Euler's formula `e^(i * b) = cos(b) + i * sin(b)`. |
| 17 | +### Key Properties |
23 | 18 |
|
24 | | -Implement the following operations: |
| 19 | +1. **Conjugate**: The conjugate of the complex number `z = a + b * i` is given by: |
25 | 20 |
|
26 | | -- addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of two complex numbers, |
27 | | -- conjugate, absolute value, exponent of a given complex number. |
| 21 | +``` |
| 22 | +z̅ = a - b * i |
| 23 | +``` |
28 | 24 |
|
29 | | -Assume the programming language you are using does not have an implementation of complex numbers. |
| 25 | +2. **Absolute Value**: The absolute value (or modulus) of `z` is defined as: |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +``` |
| 28 | +|z| = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) |
| 29 | +``` |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +The square of the absolute value, `|z|²`, can be computed as the product of `z` and its conjugate: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +``` |
| 34 | +|z|² = z * z̅ = a² + b² |
| 35 | +``` |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +### Operations on Complex Numbers |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +1. **Addition**: The sum of two complex numbers `z₁ = a + b * i` and `z₂ = c + d * i` is computed by adding their real and imaginary parts separately: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +``` |
| 42 | +z₁ + z₂ = (a + c) + (b + d) * i |
| 43 | +``` |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +2. **Subtraction**: The difference of two complex numbers is obtained by subtracting their respective parts: |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +``` |
| 48 | +z₁ - z₂ = (a - c) + (b - d) * i |
| 49 | +``` |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +3. **Multiplication**: The product of two complex numbers is defined as: |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +``` |
| 54 | +z₁ * z₂ = (a + b * i) * (c + d * i) = (a * c - b * d) + (b * c + a * d) * i |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +4. **Division**: The division of one complex number by another is given by: |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +``` |
| 60 | +z₁ / z₂ = (a + b * i) / (c + d * i) = (a * c + b * d) / (c² + d²) + (b * c - a * d) / (c² + d²) * i |
| 61 | +``` |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +5. **Reciprocal**: The reciprocal of a non-zero complex number is given by: |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +``` |
| 66 | +1 / z = 1 / (a + b * i) = a / (a² + b²) - b / (a² + b²) * i |
| 67 | +``` |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +6. **Exponentiation**: Raising _e_ (the base of the natural logarithm) to a complex exponent can be expressed using Euler's formula: |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +``` |
| 72 | +e^(a + b * i) = e^a * e^(b * i) = e^a * (cos(b) + i * sin(b)) |
| 73 | +``` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +### Implementation Requirements |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +Given that you should not use built-in support for complex numbers, implement the following operations: |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +- **Addition** of two complex numbers. |
| 80 | +- **Subtraction** of two complex numbers. |
| 81 | +- **Multiplication** of two complex numbers. |
| 82 | +- **Division** of two complex numbers. |
| 83 | +- Calculation of the **conjugate** of a complex number. |
| 84 | +- Calculation of the **absolute value** of a complex number. |
