Defined in header <complex>
template< class T > class complex; //not defined	(1)
template<> class complex<float>;	(2)
template<> class complex<double>;	(3)
template<> class complex<long double>;	(4)

The specializations std::complex<float>, std::complex<double>, and std::complex<long double> are literal types for representing and manipulating complex numbers.

The effect of instantiating the template complex for any other type is unspecified.

Non-static data members

For any complex number z, reinterpret_cast<T(&)[2]>(z)[0] is the real part of z and reinterpret_cast<T(&)[2]>(z)[1] is the imaginary part of z.

For any pointer to an element of an array of complex numbers p and any valid array index i, reinterpret_cast<T*>(p)[2*i] is the real part of the complex number p[i], and reinterpret_cast<T*>(p)[2*i + 1] is the imaginary part of the complex number p[i]

These requirements essentially limit implementation of each of the three specializations of std::complex to declaring two and only two non-static data members, of type value_type, with the same member access, which hold the real and the imaginary components, respectively.
