cimag, cimagf, cimagl

Retrieves the imaginary part of a complex number.

Syntax

double cimag( _Dcomplex z );
float cimagf( _Fcomplex z );
long double cimagl( _Lcomplex z );
#define cimag(X) // Requires C11 or higher

float cimag( _Fcomplex z );  // C++ only
long double cimag( _Lcomplex z );  // C++ only

Parameters

z
A complex number.

Return value

The imaginary part of z.

Remarks

Because C++ allows overloading, you can call overloads of cimag that take _Fcomplex or _Lcomplex values, and return float or long double values. In a C program, unless you're using the <tgmath.h> macro to call this function, cimag always takes a _Dcomplex value and returns a double value.

If you use the <tgmath.h> cimag() macro, the type of the argument determines which version of the function is selected. See Type-generic math for details.

Requirements

Routine C header C++ header
cimag, cimagf, cimagl <complex.h> <ccomplex>
cimag macro <tgmath.h>
