I have wrote a simple program that assigns a complex number a number in the form of a + b*I and when I print it the numbers I noticed loss of precision. It does not seem it is recognizing it as a double. #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #include <complex.h> int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) { complex double y[1][1]; y[0][0] = (double) -0.107692307692308 + (double) 0.061538461538462*I;
No need for the "(double)" here.
printf("\n------------------- Complex Array Assignment ---------------------------------------------------\n"); printf("\n(%+10.15f,%+10.15f)", crealf(y[0][0]), cimagf(y[0][0]));
See the 'f' at the end of crealf and cimagf? It is 'f' as in "float". Use creal and cimag instead.
printf("\n"); printf("\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n"); return 0; } This is what you will get: ------------------- Complex Array Assignment --------------------------------------------------- (-0.107692308723927,+0.061538461595774) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
