Function `std.complex.Complex.toString`

Converts the complex number to a string representation.


						
				string toString() const @safe;
				

				

				void toString(Writer, Char)
				(
				

				  scope Writer w,
				

				  scope const ref FormatSpec!Char formatSpec
				

				) const
				

				if (isOutputRange!(Writer, const(Char)[]));

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.

Example

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"
