Complex Numbers Problem

[xtlc]

I just googled myself for an hour and didn't find any usefull information, please help me out :)

I want to define 2 complex numbers and add them ... I found things like
complex<double> and stuff. But I dont get it to work correctly. I also tried including the <complex> library, but still no sucsess...

Show your test program's code and the error you are getting.

No one here is a psychic.

Oh I wasnt even that "far" :) but I will try:



#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
#include <QPoint>
#include <QtCore>
#include <complex>


complex<double> a = -0.2i;
complex<double> b = 0.4i;

complex<double> c = a+b;

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent), ui(new Ui::MainWindow) {
ui->setupUi(this);
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow() {
delete ui;
}

This already fails at "complex<double> a ..." with "complex does not name a type". I was not able to find a working example for just adding two complex numbers :(

complex is a part of std namespace


using namespace std;

// or

std::complex<double> i;

You will also need to construct the complex number objects correctly.


std::complex<double> a(0, -0.2);
std::complex<double> b(0, 0.4);

std::complex<double> result = a + b;

[Radek]

complex<double> a = -0.2i;
complex<double> b = 0.4i;

This isn't defined in C++. The compiler cannot compile "0.2i". As mentioned above, "i" is a predefined complex constant. Therefore:


complex<double> a = -0.2*i;
complex<double> b = 0.4*i;

Naturally, you can use "i" in your computations, for example:


complex<double> c = i*(a + b) - 2*i;
complex<double> d = 5 + 6*i;

The complex has a double() operator as well, you can:


complex<double> e = 6.6;
