Complex Number Objects
----------------------
.. index:: object: complex number
Python's complex number objects are implemented as two distinct types when
viewed from the C API: one is the Python object exposed to Python programs, and
the other is a C structure which represents the actual complex number value.
The API provides functions for working with both.
Complex Numbers as C Structures
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Note that the functions which accept these structures as parameters and return
them as results do so *by value* rather than dereferencing them through
pointers. This is consistent throughout the API.
.. ctype:: Py_complex
The C structure which corresponds to the value portion of a Python complex
number object. Most of the functions for dealing with complex number objects
use structures of this type as input or output values, as appropriate. It is
defined as::
typedef struct {
double real;
double imag;
} Py_complex;
.. cfunction:: Py_complex _Py_c_sum(Py_complex left, Py_complex right)
Return the sum of two complex numbers, using the C :ctype:`Py_complex`
representation.
.. cfunction:: Py_complex _Py_c_diff(Py_complex left, Py_complex right)
Return the difference between two complex numbers, using the C
:ctype:`Py_complex` representation.
.. cfunction:: Py_complex _Py_c_neg(Py_complex complex)
Return the negation of the complex number *complex*, using the C
:ctype:`Py_complex` representation.
.. cfunction:: Py_complex _Py_c_prod(Py_complex left, Py_complex right)
Return the product of two complex numbers, using the C :ctype:`Py_complex`
representation.
.. cfunction:: Py_complex _Py_c_quot(Py_complex dividend, Py_complex divisor)
Return the quotient of two complex numbers, using the C :ctype:`Py_complex`
representation.
.. cfunction:: Py_complex _Py_c_pow(Py_complex num, Py_complex exp)
Return the exponentiation of *num* by *exp*, using the C :ctype:`Py_complex`
representation.
Complex Numbers as Python Objects
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. ctype:: PyComplexObject
This subtype of :ctype:`PyObject` represents a Python complex number object.
.. cvar:: PyTypeObject PyComplex_Type
This instance of :ctype:`PyTypeObject` represents the Python complex number
type. It is the same object as ``complex`` and ``types.ComplexType``.
.. cfunction:: int PyComplex_Check(PyObject *p)
Return true if its argument is a :ctype:`PyComplexObject` or a subtype of
:ctype:`PyComplexObject`.
.. versionchanged:: 2.2
Allowed subtypes to be accepted.
.. cfunction:: int PyComplex_CheckExact(PyObject *p)
Return true if its argument is a :ctype:`PyComplexObject`, but not a subtype of
:ctype:`PyComplexObject`.
.. versionadded:: 2.2
.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyComplex_FromCComplex(Py_complex v)
Create a new Python complex number object from a C :ctype:`Py_complex` value.
.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyComplex_FromDoubles(double real, double imag)
Return a new :ctype:`PyComplexObject` object from *real* and *imag*.
.. cfunction:: double PyComplex_RealAsDouble(PyObject *op)
Return the real part of *op* as a C :ctype:`double`.
.. cfunction:: double PyComplex_ImagAsDouble(PyObject *op)
Return the imaginary part of *op* as a C :ctype:`double`.
.. cfunction:: Py_complex PyComplex_AsCComplex(PyObject *op)
Return the :ctype:`Py_complex` value of the complex number *op*.
.. versionchanged:: 2.6
If *op* is not a Python complex number object but has a :meth:`__complex__`
method, this method will first be called to convert *op* to a Python complex
number object.
