Accesses the imaginary part of the complex number.

1) Returns the imaginary part.
2) Sets the imaginary part to value.

[edit] Parameters

value - the value to set the imaginary part to

[edit] Return value

1) The imaginary part of *this.
2) (none)

[edit] Notes

In C++11, overload (1) in std::complex specializations used to be specified without const qualifier. However, in C++11, a constexpr specifier used in a non-static member function implies const, and thus the behavior is as if const is specified.

[edit] Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 387 C++98 the imaginary part could not be set directly can be set directly via a new imag overload
