complex

A JavaScript library for making calculations with complex numbers.

Installing

Run this on the command line:

npm install complex-numbers

Using

General

Require

var Complex = require("complex");

Create complex objects

var c1 = new Complex(1, 2);
var c2 = new Complex(3, 4);

Perform operations on them

var result = c1.mult(c2); // { r: -5, i: 10 } 

You can chain calls

var c1 = new Complex(3, 8);
var c2 = new Complex(2, 3);
var result = c1.mult(c2).div(c2).mult(c2).div(c2); // { r: 3, i: 8 }

Operations

Add

var c1 = new Complex(3, 8);
var c2 = new Complex(2, 3);
var result = c1.add(c2); // { r: 5, i: 11 }

It is also possible to specify the complex number as two parameters

var c1 = new Complex(3, 8);
var result = c1.add(2, 3); // { r: 5, i: 11 }

Subtract

var c1 = new Complex(3, 8);
var c2 = new Complex(2, 3);
var result = c1.sub(c2); // { r: 1, i: 5 } 

Multiply

var c1 = new Complex(2, 3);
var c2 = new Complex(4, 5);
var result = c1.mult(c2);  // { r: -7, i: 22 }

It is also possible to specify the complex number as two parameters

var c1 = new Complex(2, 3);
var result = c1.mult(4, 5); // { r: -7, i: 22 }

If you only need to add a real number then just use one parameter

var c1 = new Complex(2, 3);
var result = c1.mult(4); // { r: 8, i: 12 }

Divide

var c1 = new Complex(4, 2);
var c2 = new Complex(3, -1);
var result = c1.div(c2); // { r: 1, i: 1 }

Conjugate

var c1 = new Complex(7, 3);
var result = c1.con(); // { r: 7, i: -3 }

Absolute value

var c1 = new Complex(3, 4);
var result = c1.abs(); // 5

Additive inverse

var c1 = new Complex(4, 5);
var result = c1.neg(); // { r: -4, i: -5 }

Convert to polar

var c1 = new Complex(0, 1);
var result = c1.toPolar(); // { r: 1, i: Math.PI/2 }

Developing

git clone https://github.com/DonKarlssonSan/complex.git
cd complex
npm install

Testing

Run:

npm test

This works because jasmine-node is set up as a local devDependency in package.json:

"devDependencies": {
  "jasmine-node": "^1.14.5"
}

And is pointed to by the test "target":

"scripts": {
  "test": "jasmine-node spec"
}
