COMplex VAriable addition...

[hariprasadrao]

i've started learnin OOPS lately...
and i hav a question...
check it out...
i started studying abt friend class and friend functins...
a friend function program...
now, how can i write a progarm 2 add two complex variables...
can i use:
void getdata()
{
cin>>a+i;
cin>>b+i;
}
to input two complex variables
or is there an alternate solution?

nope.

Forget about the mathematical notation.
Create a class to contain your complex numbers as 2 double precision floating point fields, one real and one imagenary.
Either create operators (one of the few valid reasons to have operator overloading is pure mathematics like this) or regular methods for mathematical operations.

\\im not sure what the current key functions for this program is...can you help me?
