NORM _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ operator

syntax:

If rounded is on, and the argument is a real number, <norm> returns its absolute value. If complex is also on, <norm> returns the square root of the sum of squares of the real and imaginary parts of the argument. In all other cases, a result is returned in terms of the original operator.

examples:

norm (-2); 

  NORM(-2) 


on rounded;

ws; 

  2.0 


norm(3+4i); 

  NORM(4*I+3) 


on complex;

ws; 

  5.0
