Returns the exponential function of a complex number.

template<class Type> 
   complex<Type> exp( 
      const complex<Type>& _ComplexNum 
   );

Parameters

  • _ComplexNum
    The complex number whose exponential is being determined.

Return Value

The complex number that is the exponential of the input complex number.

Example

// complex_exp.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <vector>
#include <complex>
#include <iostream>

int main() {

   cout << "Complex number c1 = " << c1 << endl;

   // Value of exponential of a complex number c1:
   // note the argument of c2 is determined by the
   // imaginary part of c1 & the modulus by the real part

   cout << "The argument of c2 is: "<< argc2 << " radians, which is " 
        << argc2 * 180 / pi << " degrees." << endl << endl;

   // in the first two quadrants of the complex plane

   cout << "The complex components exp (vci), where abs (vci) = 1"
        << "\n& arg (vci) = i * pi / 3 of the vector v1 are:\n" ;

Output

Complex number c1 = (1,0.523599)
Complex number c2 = exp ( c1 ) = (2.3541,1.35914)
The modulus of c2 is: 2.71828
The argument of c2 is: 0.523599 radians, which is 30 degrees.

The complex components exp (vci), where abs (vci) = 1

(-1,2.06823e-013)
     with argument = 180 degrees
     modulus = 1
(-0.5,-0.866025)
     with argument = -120 degrees
     modulus = 1
(1,0)
     with argument = 0 degrees
     modulus = 1
(0.5,0.866025)
     with argument = 60 degrees
     modulus = 1
(-0.5,0.866025)
     with argument = 120 degrees
