33. Complex Arithmetic Operations

Write a Python program to add, subtract, multiply, and divide two complex numbers.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

print("Addition of two complex numbers : ",(4+3j)+(3-7j))
print("Subtraction of two complex numbers : ",(4+3j)-(3-7j))
print("Multiplication of two complex numbers : ",(4+3j)*(3-7j))
print("Division of two complex numbers : ",(4+3j)/(3-7j))

Sample Output:

Addition of two complex numbers :  (7-4j)                                                                     
Subtraction of two complex numbers :  (1+10j)                                                                 
Multiplication of two complex numbers :  (33-19j)                                                             
Division of two complex numbers :  (-0.15517241379310348+0.6379310344827587j)

• Write a Python function that takes two complex numbers as input and returns a dictionary with keys 'add', 'subtract', 'multiply', and 'divide' mapped to their respective operation results.
• Write a Python script to prompt the user for two complex numbers and then display the results of all four arithmetic operations with appropriate formatting.
• Write a Python program to compare the results of complex arithmetic operations and verify that multiplication and division are consistent with their conjugate properties.
