Geometry using Complex Numbers in C++ | Set 2

After going through previous post, we know what exactly are complex numbers and how we can use them to simulate points in a cartesian plane. Now, we will have an insight as to how to use the complex class from STL in C++.
To use the complex class from STL we use #include <complex>

Defining Point Class
We can define our point class by typedef complex<double> point; at the start of the program. The X and Y coordinates of the point are the real and imaginary part of the complex number respectively. To access our X- and Y-coordinates, we can macro the real() and imag() functions by using #define as follows: 

# include <complex>
typedef complex<double> point;
# define x real()
# define y imag()

Drawback: Since x and y have been used as macros, these can’t be used as variables. However, this drawback doesn’t stand in front of the many advantages this serves.

CPP

// CPP program to illustrate
// the definition of point class
#include <iostream>
#include <complex>

using namespace std;

typedef complex<double> point;

// X-coordinate is equivalent to the real part
// Y-coordinate is equivalent to the imaginary part
#define x real()
#define y imag()

int main()
{
    point P(2.0, 3.0);
    cout << "The X-coordinate of point P is: " << P.x << endl;
    cout << "The Y-coordinate of point P is: " << P.y << endl;

    return 0;
}

Output: 

The X-coordinate of point P is: 2
The Y-coordinate of point P is: 3

Implementation of attributes with respect to P single point P in plane:

1. The X coordinate of P: P.x
2. The Y coordinate of P: P.y
3. The distance of P from origin (0, 0): abs(P)
4. The angle made by OP from the X-Axis where O is the origin: arg(z)
5. Rotation of P about origin: P * polar(r, θ) 
   

CPP

// CPP program to illustrate
// the implementation of single point attributes
#include <iostream>
#include <complex>

using namespace std;

typedef complex<double> point;
#define x real()
#define y imag()

// The constant PI for providing angles in radians
#define PI 3.1415926535897932384626

// Function used to display X and Y coordinates of a point
void displayPoint(point P)
{
    cout << "(" << P.x << ", " << P.y << ")" << endl;
}

int main()
{
    point P(4.0, 3.0);

    // X-Coordinate and Y-coordinate
    cout << "The X-coordinate of point P is: " << P.x << endl;
    cout << "The Y-coordinate of point P is: " << P.y << endl;

    // Distances of P from origin
    cout << "The distance of point P from origin is: " << abs(P) <<endl;
    cout << "The squared distance of point P from origin is: " << norm(P) <<endl;

    // Tangent Angle made by OP with the X-Axis
    cout << "The angle made by OP with the X-Axis is: "
        << arg(P) << " radians" << endl;
    cout << "The angle made by OP with the X-Axis is: "
        << arg(P)*(180/PI) << " degrees" << endl;


    // Rotation of P about origin
    // The angle of rotation = 90 degrees
    point P_rotated = P * polar(1.0, PI/2);
    cout<<"The point P on rotating 90 degrees anti-clockwise becomes: P_rotated";
    displayPoint(P_rotated);

    return 0;
}

Output: 

The X-coordinate of point P is: 4
The Y-coordinate of point P is: 3
The distance of point P from origin is: 5
The squared distance of point P from origin is: 25
The angle made by OP with the X-Axis is: 0.643501 radians
The angle made by OP with the X-Axis is: 36.8699 degrees
The point P on rotating 90 degrees anti-clockwise becomes: P_rotated(-3, 4)

1. Vector Addition: P + Q
2. Vector Subtraction: P – Q
3. Euclidean Distance: abs(P – Q)
4. Slope of line PQ: tan(arg(Q – P)) 
   

point A = conj(P) * Q

1. Dot Product: A.x
2. Magnitude of Cross Product: abs(A.y)

CPP

// CPP program to illustrate
// the implementation of two point attributes
#include <iostream>
#include <complex>

using namespace std;

typedef complex<double> point;
#define x real()
#define y imag()

// Constant PI for providing angles in radians
#define PI 3.1415926535897932384626

// Function used to display X and Y coordinates of a point
void displayPoint(point P)
{
    cout << "(" << P.x << ", " << P.y << ")" << endl;
}

int main()
{
    point P(2.0, 3.0);
    point Q(3.0, 4.0);

    // Addition and Subtraction
    cout << "Addition of P and Q is: P+Q"; displayPoint(P+Q);
    cout << "Subtraction of P and Q is: P-Q"; displayPoint(P-Q);

    // Distances between points P and Q
    cout << "The distance between point P ans Q is: " << abs(P-Q) <<endl;
    cout << "The squared distance between point P ans Q is: " << norm(P-Q) <<endl;

    // Slope of line PQ
    cout << "The angle of elevation for line PQ is: "
        << arg(Q-P)*(180/PI) << " degrees" << endl;
    cout << "The slope of line PQ is: " << tan(arg(Q-P)) <<endl;

    // Construction of point A
    point A = conj(P)*Q;

    // Dot Product and Cross Product
    cout << "The dot product P.Q is: " << A.x << endl;
    cout << "The magnitude of cross product PxQ is: " << abs(A.y) << endl;

    return 0;
}

Output: 

Addition of P and Q is: P+Q(5, 7)
Subtraction of P and Q is: P-Q(-1, -1)
The distance between point P ans Q is: 1.41421
The squared distance between point P ans Q is: 2
The angle of elevation for line PQ is: 45 degrees
The slope of line PQ is: 1
The dot product P.Q is: 18
The magnitude of cross product PxQ is: 1
