pow() function for complex number in C++

pow() or power function is a function used to calculate the power of a number. It is generally used in real numbers. Here, we will see its implementation of complex numbers.

Complex numbers are those numbers that can be represented as A + iB, where A is the real part and B is the complex part of the number.

The functions for the complex number in c++ are defined in the header file <complex.h>. Here, the pow() method for complex numbers is defined. It finds the complex power of a complex number to some power.

The method is applied to complex numbers takes two input parameters first a complex number base(C) and next to the exponent(a). It returns a complex number which C^a.

Input − C = 4 + 3i a = 2

Output − (7, 24)
