### 79. Inconsistent declaration of polar()

Section: 28.4.2 [complex.syn], 28.4.7 [complex.value.ops] Status: TC1 Submitter: Nico Josuttis Opened: 1998-09-29 Last modified: 2016-01-28

Discussion:

In 28.4.2 [complex.syn] polar is declared as follows:

       template<class T> complex<T> polar(const T&, const T&);

In 28.4.7 [complex.value.ops] it is declared as follows:

       template<class T> complex<T> polar(const T& rho, const T& theta = 0);

Thus whether the second parameter is optional is not clear.

Proposed resolution:

In 28.4.2 [complex.syn] change:

       template<class T> complex<T> polar(const T&, const T&);

to:

       template<class T> complex<T> polar(const T& rho, const T& theta = 0);
