The exercise

Define a structure for storing complex variables. It should consist of two floating point (float or double) fields standing for the real and imaginary parts of a complex number. Define another structure to represent complex numbers in polar coordinates. Unless otherwise stated, a complex variable henceforth means one in its coordinate (real,imaginary) representation.

Write the following functions on complex variables:

• A function for printing complex numbers in a neat format.
• A function that converts a complex number from coordinate to polar representation.
• A function that converts a complex number from polar to coordinate representation.
• A function that adds two complex numbers.
• A function that subtracts a complex number from another.
• A function that multiplies two complex numbers.
• A function that squares a complex numbers.
• A function that divides a complex number by another.
• A function that computes a square root of a complex number. (This is where polar coordinates may be helpful.)

Read three complex numbers a, b and c from the user. Use the above functions to compute and print the two roots of the polynomial

ax2+bx+c.

You may use the Bhaskaracharya formula

[-b ± V(b2-4ac)]/(2a)

to compute square roots.

Sample output

The two roots of this polynomial are :
1.000000+i0.000000 and 1.000000+i0.000000.

Enter a (coefficient of x²) : 1 0
Enter b (coefficient of x)  : 2 0
Enter c (constant term)     : -3 0
The input polynomial is :
