Theory
This program demonstrates how to implement and operate on complex numbers using C++ classes and operator overloading. A complex number is expressed in the form:
z=a+bi
where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part.
Objective:
To create a Complex class to represent complex numbers.
To perform addition and multiplication of complex numbers.
To implement input/output operations using overloaded operators.
Key Concepts Used:
✅ 1. Class and Objects
The Complex class contains two private members: real and imag, which represent the parts of the complex number.
Constructors are used to initialize these values.
✅ 2. Operator Overloading
operator+ is overloaded to perform complex number addition.
operator* is overloaded to perform complex number multiplication.
operator<< and operator>> are overloaded to handle input and output operations for complex numbers.
✅ 3. Friend Functions
operator<< and operator>> are declared as friend functions to allow access to private members for I/O.
Advantages of This Approach:
Demonstrates Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts.
Makes the code modular and easy to understand.
Shows how to extend C++ functionality using operator overloading.
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Define the Complex class
Declare two private data members: real and imag (both double).
Define a default constructor to initialize both real and imag to 0.
Define a parameterized constructor to initialize real and imag with user-supplied values.
Step 3: Overload operators
Overload the + operator to add two complex numbers.
Overload the * operator to multiply two complex numbers.
Overload the << operator to print a complex number.
Overload the >> operator to input a complex number.
Step 4: In the main() function
Declare three Complex objects: c1, c2, and result.
Prompt the user to enter the first complex number.
Use >> operator to input c1.
Prompt the user to enter the second complex number.
Use >> operator to input c2.
Step 5: Perform operations
Use the overloaded + operator to add c1 and c2. Store result in result.
Print the sum using the overloaded << operator.
Use the overloaded * operator to multiply c1 and c2. Store result in result.
Print the product using the overloaded << operator.
Step 6: End
