NAME
carg, cargf, cargl - calculate the 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
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.
