How to define Complex variables in C++ and Use of Header file

Question

Could someone help me on complex variables: complex(a,b), in C++, as to what to use in the header files in Visual Studio 2008, and input and output these complex # to a file?

To use std::complex template in C++ you have to #include <complex> header file.

Then you can use complex<double> or complex<float> basing on the precision you require:

#include <complex>

using std::complex;

complex<double> z1(10.0); // 10 + 0i)

complex<double> z2(-3.0, 4.0) // -3 + 4i

...

To input/output complex numbers to a file, you may want to just input/output their real and coefficient of imaginary part separately.

Hi Good_Fellow,
 
I'd like to mark Giovanni's reply as answer. If you have any questions, you can post back and unmark it. We'll continue working with you on this issue.
 
Thanks for your understanding.
