Method: Complex#abs2

Defined in:
complex.c

#abs2 ⇒ Float

Returns square of the absolute value (magnitude) for self; see polar coordinates:

Complex.polar(2, 2).abs2 # => 4.0

If self was created with rectangular coordinates, the returned value is computed, and may be inexact:

Complex.rectangular(1.0/3, 1.0/3).abs2 # => 0.2222222222222222

Returns:
