Retrieves the real part of a complex number.
Syntax
double creal(
_Dcomplex z
);
float creal(
_Fcomplex z
); // C++ only
long double creal(
_Lcomplex z
); // C++ only
float crealf(
_Fcomplex z
);
long double creall(
_Lcomplex z
);
Parameters
z
A complex number.
Return Value
The real part of z.
Remarks
Because C++ allows overloading, you can call overloads of creal that take _Fcomplex or _Lcomplex values, and return float or long double values. In a C program, creal always takes a _Dcomplex value and returns a double value.
