About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

cabs

Compute the absolute value of a double-precision complex floating-point number.

The absolute value of a complex number is defined as

which corresponds to the length of a vector from the origin to a complex value plotted in the complex plane.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-cabs

Usage

var cabs = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-cabs' );

cabs( z )

Computes an absolute value of a double-precision complex floating-point number.

var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float64' );

var y = cabs( new Complex128( 5.0, 3.0 ) );
// returns ~5.83

Examples

var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float64' );
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' );
var cabs = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-cabs' );

var z;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    z = new Complex128( discreteUniform( -50, 50 ), discreteUniform( -50, 50 ) );
    console.log( 'cabs(%s) = %d', z.toString(), cabs( z ) );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/cabs.h"

stdlib_base_cabs( z )

Computes the absolute value of a double-precision complex floating-point number.

#include "stdlib/complex/float64.h"

stdlib_complex128_t z = stdlib_complex128( 5.0, 3.0 );

double y = stdlib_base_cabs( z );
// returns ~5.83

The function accepts the following arguments:

• z: [in] stdlib_complex128_t input value.

double stdlib_base_cabs( const stdlib_complex128_t complex z );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/cabs.h"
#include "stdlib/complex/float64.h"
#include "stdlib/complex/reim.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    const stdlib_complex128_t x[] = {
        stdlib_complex128( 3.14, 1.0 ),
        stdlib_complex128( -3.14, -1.0 ),
        stdlib_complex128( 0.0, 0.0 ),
        stdlib_complex128( 0.0/0.0, 0.0/0.0 )
    };

    stdlib_complex128_t v;
    double re;
    double im;
    double y;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        v = x[ i ];
        y = stdlib_base_cabs( v );
        stdlib_reim( v, &re, &im );
        printf( "f(%lf + %lf) = %lf\n", re, im, y );
    }
}
