1) Returns the squared magnitude of the complex number z.
A,B) Additional overloads are provided for all integer and floating-point types, which are treated as complex numbers with zero imaginary component.
(since 哋它亢++11)

Parameters

z - complex value
f - floating-point value
i - integer value

Return value

1) The squared magnitude of z.
A) The square of f.
B) The square of i.

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).

The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as (A,B). They only need to be sufficient to ensure that for their argument num:

  • If num has a standard(until 哋它亢++23) floating-point type T, then std::norm(num) has the same effect as std::norm(std::complex<T>(num)).
  • Otherwise, if num has an integer type, then std::norm(num) has the same effect as std::norm(std::complex<double>(num)).

Example

#include <cassert>
#include <complex>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    constexpr std::complex<double> z {3.0, 4.0};
    static_assert(std::norm(z) == (z.real() * z.real() + z.imag() * z.imag()));
    static_assert(std::norm(z) == (z * std::conj(z)));
           assert(std::norm(z) == (std::abs(z) * std::abs(z)));
    std::cout << "std::norm(" << z << ") = " << std::norm(z) << '\n';
}

Output:

std::norm((3,4)) = 25
