Math::GComplex - Generic complex number library.
Version 0.01
Math::GComplex provides a generic interface to complex number operations, accepting any type of number as a component of a complex number, including native Perl numbers and numerical objects provided by other mathematical libraries, such as Math::AnyNum.
use 5.014; use Math::GComplex; use Math::AnyNum qw(:overload); my $x = Math::GComplex->new(3, 4); my $y = Math::GComplex->new(7, 5); say $x + $y; #=> (10 9) say $x - $y; #=> (-4 -1) say $x * $y; #=> (1 43) say $x / $y; #=> (41/74 13/74)
Math::GComplex is a lightweight library, which focuses primarily on providing a friendly interface to complex number operations and good performance.
In most cases, it can be used as drop-in replacement for Math::Complex.
Due to its simple and elegant design, this library is between 2x up to 8x faster than Math::Complex.
The following functions are exportable:
:trig sin sinh asin asinh cos cosh acos acosh tan tanh atan atanh cot coth acot acoth sec sech asec asech csc csch acsc acsch atan2 :special log logn exp sqrt cbrt root :misc cplx abs acmp sgn conj inv real imag reals
Each function can be exported individually, as:
use Math::GComplex qw(acosh);
There is also the possibility of exporting an entire group of functions, as:
use Math::GComplex qw(:trig);
The imaginary unit, i = sqrt(-1), is also exportable, as:
i = sqrt(-1)
use Math::GComplex qw(i);
Additionally, by specifying the :all keyword, all the exportable functions, including the i constant, will be exported:
:all
i
use Math::GComplex qw(:all);
The :overload keyword enables constant overloading, which makes each number a Math::GComplex object and also exports the i constant:
:overload
use Math::GComplex qw(:overload); CORE::say 3 + 4*i; #=> (3 4) CORE::say log(-1); #=> (0 3.14159265358979)
Nothing is exported by default.
my $z = Math::GComplex->new($real, $imag);
Creates and returns a new Math::GComplex object.
my $z = cplx($real, $imag);
my $i = Math::GComplex::i();
Returns the imaginary unit as a Math::GComplex object, equivalent with cplx(0, 1).
cplx(0, 1)

This section describes the various useful methods provided by this module.
$x->floor
The floor function, defined for a complex number as:
floor(a + b*i) = floor(a) + floor(b)*i
$x->ceil
The ceil function, defined for a complex number as:
ceil(a + b*i) = ceil(a) + ceil(b)*i
$x->int

int(a + b*i) = int(a) + int(b)*i
$x->real
Return the real part of $x.
$x->imag
Returns the imaginary part of $x.
($real, $imag) = $x->reals
Returns the real and the imaginary part of $x, as real numbers.
$x == $y $x->eq($y)
Equality check: returns a true value when $x and $y are equal.
$x != $y $x->ne($y)
Inequality check: returns a true value when $x and $y are not equal.
$x > $y $x->gt($y)
Returns a true value when $x is greater than $y.
$x >= $y $x->ge($y)
Returns a true value when $x is equal or greater than $y.
$x < $y $x->lt($y)
Returns a true value when $x is less than $y.
$x <= $y $x->le($y)
Returns a true value when $x is equal or less than $y.
$x <=> $y $x->cmp($y)
Compares $x to $y and returns a negative value when $x is less than $y, 0 when $x and $y are equal, and a positive value when $x is greater than $y.
Complex numbers are compared as:
(real($x) <=> real($y)) || (imag($x) <=> imag($y))
$x->acmp($y)
Absolute comparison of $x and $y.
acmp(x, y) = abs(x) <=> abs(y)
$x->boolify
Returns a true value when either the real part or the imaginary part of $x is non-zero.
$x->numify
Returns the real part of $x.
$x->stringify
Returns a stringification version of $x.
Example:
Math::GComplex->new(3, -4)->stringify; # "(3 -4)" Math::GComplex->new(-3, 4)->stringify; # "(-3 4)"
Being a generic interface, it assumes that all the special cases (such as division by zero) are handled by the library of which type the components of a complex number are.
When the components of a complex number are native Perl integers, the user may encounter errors due to division by zero or incorrect results due to overflow or underflow in some special cases.
