The square of the absolute value `|z|^2` is the result of multiplication of `z` by its complex conjugate. + +The sum/difference of two complex numbers involves adding/subtracting their real and imaginary parts separately: +`(a + i * b) + (c + i * d) = (a + c) + (b + d) * i`, +`(a + i * b) - (c + i * d) = (a - c) + (b - d) * i`. + +Multiplication result is by definition +`(a + i * b) * (c + i * d) = (a * c - b * d) + (b * c + a * d) * i`. + +The reciprocal of a non-zero complex number is +`1 / (a + i * b) = a/(a^2 + b^2) - b/(a^2 + b^2) * i`. + +Dividing a complex number `a + i * b` by another `c + i * d` gives: +`(a + i * b) / (c + i * d) = (a * c + b * d)/(c^2 + d^2) + (b * c - a * d)/(c^2 + d^2) * i`. + +Exponent of a complex number can be expressed as +`exp(a + i * b) = exp(a) * exp(i * b)`, +and the last term is given by Euler's formula `exp(i * b) = cos(b) + i * sin(b)`. + + +Implement the following operations: + - addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of two complex numbers, + - conjugate, absolute value, exponent of a given complex number. + + Assume the programming language you are using does not have an implementation of complex numbers. ## Source
