cabs function

Input type Output type
complex float

This function calculates the complex modulus of the argument and returns the result. It is defined as follows:

cabs(a + bi) = sqrt(a*a + b*b)

Examples:

  cabs(2)       ; 2.0  cabs(8.6)     ; 8.6  cabs((3, 4))  ; 5.0  cabs((4, 5))  ; 6.4031    

Note: cabs(z) is equal to sqrt(|z|)
