Hi everyone, I am presently struggling with converting a matlab prototype code into a c++ equivalent. I am struggling with the abs function.
What should I do in C++/C to get the similar output?

In C++ abs() is overloaded and for double precision will call fabs()
fabs() was not a formal part of C, but it was common for C vendors to provide fabs(). It was common for fabs to be implemented as a macro, but that led to arguments, especially as ieee 754 double precision defines an fabs hardware operation that does not require any branching.

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/complex shows the complex class for C++ and shows using a suffix of i for imaginary part, and shows abs() as the function name
