# Complex_I

From cppreference.com
< c‎ | numeric‎ | complex

Defined in header `<complex.h>` |  |
#define _Complex_I /* unspecified */ |  | (since C99)

The `_Complex_I` macro expands to a value of type const float _Complex with the value of the imaginary unit.

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <complex.h>

    int main(void)
    {
        #ifdef __STDC_NO_COMPLEX__
                printf("__STDC_NO_COMPLEX__ is defined.\n");
        #else
            printf("__STDC_NO_COMPLEX__ is undefined.\n");
        #endif

        #ifdef __STDC_IEC_559_COMPLEX__
            printf("__STDC_IEC_559_COMPLEX__ is defined.\n");
        #else
            printf("__STDC_IEC_559_COMPLEX__ is undefined.\n");
        #endif

        printf("_Complex_I = %.1f%+.1fi\n", creal(_Complex_I), cimag(_Complex_I));
        printf("sizeof(_Complex_I) = %zu\n", sizeof(_Complex_I));

        double complex z = 1.0 + 2.0*_Complex_I;
        printf("z = %.1f%+.1fi\n", creal(z), cimag(z));

        return 0;
    }

Output:

    __STDC_NO_COMPLEX__ is undefined.
    __STDC_IEC_559_COMPLEX__ is defined.
    _Complex_I = 0.0+1.0i
    sizeof(_Complex_I) = 8
    z = 1.0+2.0i
