Here is the source code of C++ program to multiply two complex numbers.

/* Aim: Write a C++ program to multiply two complex numbers

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

class complex
{
 float a,b;

 public:
 complex()
 {
  a=b=1;
 }
 
 complex(float x, float y)
 {
  a=x;b=y;
 }
 
 complex operator * (complex c2)
 {
  complex tmp;

  tmp.a=a*c2.a-b*c2.b;
  tmp.b=a*c2.b+c2.a*b;

  return tmp;
 }

 
 void display()
 { 
  if(b>=0)
   cout<<" Complex number : "<<a<<"+"<<b<<"i"<<endl;
  else
   cout<<" Complex number : "<<a<<b<<"i"<<endl;
 }

 void display(char op)
 { 
  cout<<a<<"i"<<"/"<<b<<endl;
 }

};

int main()
{
 complex c1(7,-3),c2,c3;

 c1.display();
 c2.display();
 
 cout<<" Multiplication is ";
 
 c3=c1*c2;
 
 c3.display(); 


 return 0;
}

Output of above c++ program

 Complex number : 7-3i
 Complex number : 1+1i
 Multiplication is  Complex number : 10+4i
