conjugate


Usage

conjugate z
conjugate! z


Signature

conjugate: % $\to$ %


Parameter Type Description
z % a complex


Description

Returns $x - y \sqrt{-1}$ where $z = x + y \sqrt{-1}$. When using conjugate!, the storage used by z is allowed to be destroyed or reused, so z is lost after this call.
