</p><p>Using <code class="code">complex&lt;&gt;</code> becomes even more comple- er, sorry,
<span class="emphasis"><em>complicated</em></span>, with the not-quite-gratuitously-incompatible
addition of complex types to the C language. David Tribble has
compiled a list of C++98 and C99 conflict points; his description of
C's new type versus those of C++ and how to get them playing together
nicely is
<a class="ulink" href="http://david.tribble.com/text/cdiffs.htm#C99-complex" target="_top">here</a>.
</p><p><code class="code">complex&lt;&gt;</code> is intended to be instantiated with a
floating-point type. As long as you meet that and some other basic
requirements, then the resulting instantiation has all of the usual
math operators defined, as well as definitions of <code class="code">op&lt;&lt;</code>
and <code class="code">op&gt;&gt;</code> that work with iostreams: <code class="code">op&lt;&lt;</code>
prints <code class="code">(u,v)</code> and <code class="code">op&gt;&gt;</code> can read <code class="code">u</code>,
<code class="code">(u)</code>, and <code class="code">(u,v)</code>.
