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
