Api Documentation

Complex constructor:

var z = new Complex(real[, im]);

Arguments:

1. real (number) the real part of the number
2. im (number) the imaginary part of the number

Or

1. real (string) a string representation of the number, for example 1+4i

Examples:

var z = new Complex(2, 4);
var z = new Complex('2+5i');

Function: Complex.from

A in line function like Number.from.

var z = Complex.from(real, im);

Arguments:

The same as the Complex constructor.

Function: Complex.fromPolar

Creates a complex instance from a polar representation: r*e^(phi*i) = r (cos(phi) + i sin(phi))

var z = Complex.fromPolar(r, phi);

Arguments:

1. r (number) the radius/magnitude of the number
2. phi (number) the angle/phase of the number

Constant: Complex.i

A instance of the imaginary unit i

var i = Complex.i;

Constant: Complex.one

A instance for the real number 1

var one = Complex.one;

Method: fromRect

Sets the real and imaginary properties a and b from a + bi

myComplex.fromRect(real, im);

Arguments:

1. real (number) the real part of the number
2. im (number) the imaginary part of the number

Method: fromPolar

Sets the a and b in a + bi from a polar representation.

myComplex.fromPolar(r, phi);

Arguments:

1. r (number) the radius/magnitude of the number
2. phi (number) the angle/phase of the number

Method: toPrecision

Sets the precision of the numbers. Similar to Number.prototype.toPrecision. Useful befor printing the number with the toString method.

myComplex.toPrecision(k);

Arguments:

1. k (number) An integer specifying the number of significant digits

Method: toFixed

Formats a number using fixed-point notation. Similar to Number.prototype.toFixed. Useful before printing the number with the toString method.

myComplex.toFixed(k);

Arguments:

1. k (number) The number of digits to appear after the decimal point; this may be a value between 0 and 20, inclusive, and implementations may optionally support a larger range of values. If this argument is omitted, it is treated as 0

Method: finalize

Finalizes the instance. The number will not change and any other method call will return a new instance. Very useful when a complex instance should stay constant. For example the Complex.i variable is a finalized instance.

myComplex.finalize();

Method: magnitude

Calculates the magnitude of the complex number

myComplex.maginude();

Alias:

• abs

Method: angle

Calculates the angle with the real axis.

myComplex.angle();

Aliases

• arg
• phase

Method: conjungate

Calculates the conjungate of the complex number (multiplies the imaginary part with -1)

myComplex.conjungate();

Method: negate

Negates the number (multiplies both the real and imaginary part with -1)

myComplex.negate();

Method: multiply

Multiplies the number with a real or complex number

myComplex.multiply(z);

Arguments:

1. z (number, complex) the number to multiply with

Alias:

• mult

Method: devide

Devides the number by a real or complex number

myComplex.devide(z);

Arguments:

1. z (number, complex) the number to divide by

Alias:

• div

Method: add

Adds a real or complex number

myComplex.add(z);

Arguments:

1. z (number, complex) the number to add

Method: subtract

Subtracts a real or complex number

myComplex.subtract(z);

Arguments:

1. z (number, complex) the number to subtract

Alias:

• sub

Method: pow

Returns the base to the exponent

myComplex.pow(z);

Arguments:

1. z (number, complex) the exponent

Method: sqrt

Returns the square root

myComplex.sqrt();

Method: log

Returns the natural logarithm (base E)

myComplex.log([k]);

Arguments:

1. k (number) the actual answer has a multiplicity (ln(z) = ln|z| + arg(z)) where arg(z) can return the same for different angles (every 2*pi), with this argument you can define which answer is required

Method: exp

Calculates the e^z where the base is E and the exponential the complex number.

myComplex.exp();

Method: sin

Calculates the sine of the complex number

myComplex.sin();

Method: cos

Calculates the cosine of the complex number

myComplex.cos();

Method: tan

Calculates the tangent of the complex number

myComplex.tan();

Method: sinh

Calculates the hyperbolic sine of the complex number

myComplex.sinh();

Method: cosh

Calculates the hyperbolic cosine of the complex number

myComplex.cosh();

Method: tanh

Calculates the hyperbolic tangent of the complex number

myComplex.tanh();

Method: clone

Returns a new Complex instance with the same real and imaginary properties

myComplex.clone();

Method: toString

Returns a string representation of the complex number

myComplex.toString();

Examples:

new Complex(1, 2).toString(); // 1+2i
new Complex(0, 1).toString(); // i
new Complex(4, 0).toString(); // 4
new Complex(1, 1).toString(); // 1+i
'my Complex Number is: ' + (new Complex(3, 5)); // 'my Complex Number is: 3+5i

Method: Equals

Checks if the real and imaginary components are equal to the passed in compelex components.

myComplex.equals(z);

Arguments:

1. z (number, complex) the complex number to compare with

Examples:

new Complex(1, 4).equals(new Complex(1, 4)); // true
new Complex(1, 3).equals(new Complex(1, 3)); // false

Additions To The Number Object

Each method of the Complex object is added to the Number object, so it is easy to use them together.

Example:

(3).add(new Complex(2, 4)).toString(); // 5+4i

Method: toComplex

Returns a Complex instance where the real component is the value of the number.

myNumber.toComplex();

Example:

(3).toComplex().add(new Complex(3, 4)).toString(); // 6+4i

Function: Number.from

Number.from accepts Complex instances. It will return the real component.

Example:

Number.from(new Complex(3, 4)); // 3

Additions To The Math Object

The following functions are added to the Math object:

• Math.sinh - calculates the hyperbolic sine of a (real) number
• Math.cosh - calculates the hyperbolic cosine of a (real) number
• Math.tanh - calculates the hyperbolic tangent of a (real) number

Additions To The Strnig Object

String implements the following methods:

Method: toComplex

Parses a string like 3+5i into a Complex instance.

myString.toComplex();

Example:

'4+2i'.toComplex(); // a complex instance with the real component = 4 and the imaginary component = 2
