Floating point complex division
Complex floating point division isn't quite trivial. The naive method may encounter overflow, underflow, or loss of precision due to the intermediate floating point results. A simple remedy[1] is:
Calculates (a + ib)/(c + id) and returns a two-element JS array with the real and imaginary components.
result
is an optional Array
or typed array into which the output is inserted.
var cdiv = require('complex-division');
var result = cdiv( 1, 2, 3, 4 );
// result = [ 0.44, 0.08 ]
