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!
cabs2
Compute the squared 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-cabs2
Usage
var cabs2 = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-cabs2' );
cabs2( z )
Computes the squared absolute value of a double-precision complex floating-point number.
var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float64-ctor' );
var y = cabs2( new Complex128( 5.0, 3.0 ) );
Notes
- Be careful to avoid overflow and underflow.
- Depending on the environment, this function may have better performance than computing the absolute value of a complex number and then squaring. Hence, where appropriate, consider using
cabs2()
over cabs()
.
Examples
var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex-float64-ctor' );
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' ).factory;
var cabs2 = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-cabs2' );
var rand = discreteUniform( -50, 50 );
var z;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
z = new Complex128( rand(), rand() );
console.log( 'cabs2(%s) = %d', z.toString(), cabs2( z ) );
}
C APIs
Usage
#include "stdlib/math/base/special/cabs2.h"
stdlib_base_cabs2( z )
Computes the squared absolute value of a double-precision complex floating-point number.
#include "stdlib/complex/float64/ctor.h"
stdlib_complex128_t z = stdlib_complex128( 5.0, 3.0 );
double y = stdlib_base_cabs2( z );
The function accepts the following arguments:
- z:
[in] stdlib_complex128_t
input value.
double stdlib_base_cabs2( const stdlib_complex128_t z );
Examples
#include "stdlib/math/base/special/cabs2.h"
#include "stdlib/complex/float64/ctor.h"
#include "stdlib/complex/float64/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_cabs2( v );
stdlib_complex128_reim( v, &re, &im );
printf( "f(%lf + %lf) = %lf\n", re, im, y );
}
}
Notice
This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
