NAME

carg, cargf, cargl - calculate the complex argument  

SYNOPSIS

#include <complex.h>

double carg(double complex z);
float cargf(float complex z);
long double cargl(long double complex z);

Link with -lm.  

DESCRIPTION

These functions calculate the complex argument (also called phase angle) of z, with a branch cut along the negative real axis.

A complex number can be described by two real coordinates. One may use rectangular coordinates and gets

    z = x + I * y

where x = creal(z) and y = cimag(z).

Or one may use polar coordinates and gets

    z = r * cexp(I * a)

where r = cabs(z) is the "radius", the "modulus", the absolute value of z, and a = carg(z) is the "phase angle", the argument of z.

One has:

    tan(carg(z)) = cimag(z) / creal(z)
 

RETURN VALUE

The return value is the range of [-pi,pi].  

VERSIONS

These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
