imag() Function

In the Go programming language, the imag() is a built-in function that is used to get the imaginary part of the given complex number.

It accepts one parameter (c ComplexType) and returns the imaginary part of c.

Syntax

func imag(c ComplexType) FloatType

Parameter(s)

• c : The complex value of a ComplexType.

Return Value

The return type of the imag() function is a FloatType, it returns the imaginary part of the given complex value and the return value will be floating point type corresponding to the type of the given complex value.

Example 1

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of imag() function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	// Declare and assign complex numbers
	var x complex128 = complex(1, 2)
	var y complex128 = complex(3, 4)

	// Printing the types and values
	fmt.Printf("x: %T, %v\n", x, x)
	fmt.Printf("y: %T, %v\n", y, y)

	// Extracting the imaginary part and
	// printing its type and value
	imag_x := imag(x)
	imag_y := imag(y)

	fmt.Printf("imag_x: %T, %v\n", imag_x, imag_x)
	fmt.Printf("imag_y: %T, %v\n", imag_y, imag_y)
}

Output

x: complex128, (1+2i)
y: complex128, (3+4i)
imag_x: float64, 2
imag_y: float64, 4

Example 2

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of imag() function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	complex1 := complex(2, 10)
	complex2 := 2 + 6i

	fmt.Println("complex1", complex1)
	fmt.Println("complex2:", complex2)
	fmt.Println("complex1*complex2", complex1*complex2)

	fmt.Println("Imaginary Number of complex1:", imag(complex1))
	fmt.Println("Imaginary Number of complex2:", imag(complex2))
	fmt.Println("Imaginary Number of complex1*complex2:", imag(complex1*complex2))
}

Output

complex1 (2+10i)
complex2: (2+6i)
complex1*complex2 (-56+32i)
Imaginary Number of complex1: 10
Imaginary Number of complex2: 6
Imaginary Number of complex1*complex2: 32
