Programming classes

We can therefore make a more general class by rewriting our original example as

  ~Complex () {}                        // destructor
   T   Re () const;        // T real_part = a.Re();
   T   Im () const;        // T imag_part = a.Im();
   T   abs () const;       // T m = a.abs(); // modulus
   friend Complex operator+ (const Complex&  a, const Complex& b);
   friend Complex operator- (const Complex&  a, const Complex& b);
   friend Complex operator* (const Complex&  a, const Complex& b);
   friend Complex operator/ (const Complex&  a, const Complex& b);
};
