Real Part of Complex Number

Open Live Script

Find the real part of the complex number Z.

Z = 2+3i;
X = real(Z)

X = 2

Real Part of Vector of Complex Values

Open Live Script

Find the real part of each element in vector Z. The real function acts on Z element-wise.

Z = [0.5i 1+3i -2.2];
X = real(Z)

X = 1×3
