std.complex

This module contains the Complex type, which is used to represent complex numbers, along with related mathematical operations and functions.
Complex will eventually replace the built-in types cfloat, cdouble, creal, ifloat, idouble, and ireal.

pure nothrow @nogc @safe auto complex(R)(const R re)
if (is(R : double));

pure nothrow @nogc @safe auto complex(R, I)(const R re, const I im)
if (is(R : double) && is(I : double));
Helper function that returns a complex number with the specified real and imaginary parts.
Parameters:
R (template parameter) type of real part of complex number
I (template parameter) type of imaginary part of complex number
R re real part of complex number to be constructed
I im (optional) imaginary part of complex number, 0 if omitted.
Returns:
Complex instance with real and imaginary parts set to the values provided as input. If neither re nor im are floating-point numbers, the return type will be Complex!double. Otherwise, the return type is deduced using std.traits.CommonType!(R, I).
Examples: 
auto a = complex(1.0);
static assert(is(typeof(a) == Complex!double));
writeln(a.re); // 1.0
writeln(a.im); // 0.0

auto b = complex(2.0L);
static assert(is(typeof(b) == Complex!real));
writeln(b.re); // 2.0L
writeln(b.im); // 0.0L

auto c = complex(1.0, 2.0);
static assert(is(typeof(c) == Complex!double));
writeln(c.re); // 1.0
writeln(c.im); // 2.0

auto d = complex(3.0, 4.0L);
static assert(is(typeof(d) == Complex!real));
writeln(d.re); // 3.0
writeln(d.im); // 4.0L

auto e = complex(1);
static assert(is(typeof(e) == Complex!double));
writeln(e.re); // 1
writeln(e.im); // 0

auto f = complex(1L, 2);
static assert(is(typeof(f) == Complex!double));
writeln(f.re); // 1L
writeln(f.im); // 2

auto g = complex(3, 4.0L);
static assert(is(typeof(g) == Complex!real));
writeln(g.re); // 3
writeln(g.im); // 4.0L
struct Complex(T) if (isFloatingPoint!T);
A complex number parametrised by a type T, which must be either float, double or real.
T re;
The real part of the number.
T im;
The imaginary part of the number.
const @safe string toString();

const void toString(Writer, Char)(scope Writer w, ref scope const FormatSpec!Char formatSpec)
if (isOutputRange!(Writer, const(Char)[]));
Converts the complex number to a string representation.
The second form of this function is usually not called directly; instead, it is used via std.string.format, as shown in the examples below. Supported format characters are 'e', 'f', 'g', 'a', and 's'.
See the std.format and std.string.format documentation for more information.
Examples: 
auto c = complex(1.2, 3.4);

// Vanilla toString formatting:
writeln(c.toString()); // "1.2+3.4i"

// Formatting with std.string.format specs: the precision and width
// specifiers apply to both the real and imaginary parts of the
// complex number.
import std.format : format;
writeln(format("%.2f", c)); // "1.20+3.40i"
writeln(format("%4.1f", c)); // " 1.2+ 3.4i"
this(R : T)(Complex!R z);

this(Rx : T, Ry : T)(const Rx x, const Ry y);
