The cpowf function is a C library function that raises a complex number to a complex power.
The following illustration shows the functionality of the cpowf function:
To use the cpowf function, we need to include the complex.h header file, as shown below:
#include <complex.h>
The cpowf function takes two arguments and returns the complex power. It is declared as follows:
The cpowf function takes two arguments of the float complex type.
The first parameter is the number we want to raise
The second parameter is the power with which we want to raise the number
The cpowf function computes and returns the power in the float complex type.
The code below shows the use of cpowf function in C:
#include <stdio.h>#include <complex.h>int main() {//Declare x and yfloat complex x = 1.0+2.0*I;float complex y = 3.0;//Call cpowf i.e x^yfloat complex ans = cpowf(x,y);//Display resultprintf ("(1+2i)^3 = %f%+fi\n", creal(ans), cimag(ans) );return 0;}
