Complex numer

[Tomper]

Hi

Can I use complex numbers in mikroC? How would I go about using complex numbers? i.e a + b*I where I=sqrt(-1) is this possible? I am new to programming and really need help

I would like to know that too ! My research is dependent in Transfer Functions who extensally use complex numbers

There's not built-in supply for complex numbers in MikroC (or in any standard C compiler for that matter). But you can always write your own functions that take real and imaginary part (a and b in your example) and perform the calculations according to textbook rules for imaginary numbers. Storage for complex numbers is easy - just use two float variables, one holding the real part and one the imaginary part. Also I'm sure a web search will turn up plenty of code examples in ANSI C. You may want to define a struct for easier handling.

Here is a link to ANSI C routines for complex numbers. That should be easy to adapt for MikroC (if there are any changes required at all - I haven't tried it):

Hi!

Just to confirm that I agree with womai on this subject.
