C++ Program to Add Two Complex Numbers using Class

This is a C++ Program to add two Complex Numbers.

Problem Description

We have to input the real and imaginary parts of two complex numbers separately and add them using classes and objects in C++.

Expected Input and Output

1. When the real and imaginary part both are positive.

First Complex Number = 5 + 6i
Second Complex Number = 1 + 3i

Output= 6 + 9i

2. When any one of the imaginary or real part is negative.

First Complex Number = -4 + 6i
Second Complex Number = 5 + (-3i)

Output= 1 + 3i

3. When both real and imaginary parts are negative.

First Complex Number = -5 + -(6i)
Second Complex Number = -3 + -(5i)

Output= -8 + -11i

Problem Solution

In this problem, we are going to create a function that adds two complex numbers. First the user has to provide real and imaginary parts as input for both the complex numbers. After that the real part of first complex number will be added with the real part of second one, similarly the imaginary part of first complex number will be added with the imaginary part of second complex number.

Program/Source Code

Here is source code of the C++ Program to add two Complex Numbers using Classes and Objects. The program is successfully compiled and tested using Codeblocks gnu/gcc compiler on Windows 10. The program output is also shown below.

```

        cout<<"Enter real and imaginary part of first complex number"<<endl;

```
        c1.setvalue();
```

        cout<<"Enter real and imaginary part of second complex number"<<endl;

```
        c2.setvalue();
```

        cout<<"Sum of two complex numbers is"<<endl;

```
        c3.sum(c1,c2);
```
```
        c3.display();
```
```
    return 0;
```
```
    }
```

Program Explanation

Here in this program we have created a few functions.

1. setvalue()
This function allows us to take input for real and imaginary parts of both the complex numbers. To take in real and imaginary part as an input for first complex number we have called this function using an object c1. So, this function sets the real and imag values for first complex number. Similarly to set the values of real and imaginary part of second complex number, we can call it using a new object c2.

2. sum()
This function takes in two complex numbers as a parameter. Using this function we have added the real parts of both the complex numbers together and stored them into variable real which is the real part of the resultant complex number. Similarly we have added the imaginary parts of both the complex numbers and stored the result into variable imag which is the imaginary part of the resultant complex number.

3. display()
We have called this function using an object for the resultant complex number, to display the real and imaginary parts of the resultant complex number obtained after addition.
