# std::conj(std::complex)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | numeric‎ | complex

Defined in header `<complex>` |  |
template< class T > complex<T> conj( const complex<T>& z ); | (1) |
std::complex<long double> conj( long double z ); | (2) | (since C++11)
template< class DoubleOrIngeter > std::complex<double> conj( DoubleOrInteger z ); | (3) | (since C++11)
std::complex<float> conj( float z ); | (4) | (since C++11)

Computes the complex conjugate of `z` by reversing the sign of the imaginary part.

(since C++11)Additional overloads are provided for float, double, long double, and all integer types, which are treated as complex numbers with zero imaginary component.

### [edit] Parameters

z | - | complex value

### [edit] Return value

The complex conjugate of `z`

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <complex>

    int main()
    {
        std::complex<double> z(1,2);
        std::cout << "The conjugate of " << z << " is " << std::conj(z) << '\n'
                  << "Their product is " << z*std::conj(z) << '\n';
    }

Output:

    The conjugate of (1,2) is (1,-2)
    Their product is (5,0)
