std::norm(std::complex)

Defined in header <complex>
template< class T > 
T norm( const complex<T>& z );
(1)
long double norm( long double z );
(2) (since C++11)
template< class DoubleOrInteger >
double norm( DoubleOrInteger z );
(3) (since C++11)
float norm( float z );
(4) (since C++11)

Returns the squared magnitude of the complex number z.

(since C++11)Additional overloads are provided for float, double, long double, and all integer types, which are treated as complex numbers with zero imaginary component.

Parameters

z - complex value

Return value

the squared magnitude of z.

Notes

The norm calculated by this function is also known as field norm or absolute square.

The Euclidean norm of a complex number is provided by std::abs, which is more costly to compute. In some situations, it may be replaced by std::norm, for example, if abs(z1) > abs(z2) then norm(z1) > norm(z2).
