polar() function for complex number in C++

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about polar() function for complex number in C++. Here we will learn about polar() function uses, and its header file. After that, we will see the C++ program for the polar function with several examples.

polar() function

The polar() function is defined in the #include<complex> header file in c++. It takes the magnitude and phase angle of a complex number and construct a complex number using these values. As we know,
real = magnitude*cosine(phase angle)
imaginary = magnitude*sine(phase angle)

The general syntax of the polar function is:-

polar(mag,angle);

where mag represents the magnitude and angle represents the phase angle.

Let us see the code for polar function:-

#include<iostream>
#include<complex>
using namespace std;
/*===========================================
                MAIN FUNCTION
=============================================*/ 
int main () 
{
   cout<<"Example 1"<<endl;
   float m=1.2,a=1.5;
   cout<<"Complex number with magnitude "<<m<<" and phase angle "
       <<a<<" is ";
   cout<<polar(m,a)<<endl;

   cout<<"Example 2"<<endl;
   m=2.0,a=3.1;
   cout<<"Complex number with magnitude "<<m<<" and phase angle "
       <<a<<" is ";
   cout<<polar(m,a)<<endl;

   cout<<"Example 3"<<endl;
   m=2.2,a=1.8;
   cout<<"Complex number with magnitude "<<m<<" and phase angle "
       <<a<<" is ";
   cout<<polar(m,a)<<endl;

   cout<<"Example 4"<<endl;
   m=3.2,a=1.4;
   cout<<"Complex number with magnitude "<<m<<" and phase angle "
       <<a<<" is ";
   cout<<polar(m,a)<<endl;

   cout<<"Example 5"<<endl;
   m=5.0,a=2.0;
   cout<<"Complex number with magnitude "<<m<<" and phase angle "
       <<a<<" is ";
   cout<<polar(m,a)<<endl;

   return 0;
}

Output:-

Example 1
Complex number with magnitude 1.2 and phase angle 1.5 is (0.0848846,1.19699)
Example 2
Complex number with magnitude 2 and phase angle 3.1 is (-1.99827,0.0831615)
Example 3
Complex number with magnitude 2.2 and phase angle 1.8 is (-0.499844,2.14246)
Example 4
Complex number with magnitude 3.2 and phase angle 1.4 is (0.543895,3.15344)
Example 5
Complex number with magnitude 5 and phase angle 2 is (-2.08073,4.54649)
