> Compute the inverse of a double-precision complex floating-point number.

<section class="intro">

The inverse (or reciprocal) of a non-zero complex number `z = a + bi` is defined as

## Usage

```javascript
var cinv = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/cinv' );
```

#### cinv( z )

Computes the inverse of a double-precision complex floating-point number.

```javascript
var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex/float64' );
var real = require( '@stdlib/complex/real' );
var imag = require( '@stdlib/complex/imag' );

var v = cinv( new Complex128( 2.0, 4.0 ) );
// returns <Complex128>

var re = real( v );
// returns 0.1

var im = imag( v );
// returns -0.2
```

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex/float64' );
var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random/base/uniform' );
var cinv = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/cinv' );

var z1;
var z2;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    z1 = new Complex128( uniform( -50.0, 50.0 ), uniform( -50.0, 50.0 ) );
    z2 = cinv( z1 );

    console.log( '1.0 / (%s) = %s', z1.toString(), z2.toString() );
}

### Usage

```c
#include "stdlib/math/base/special/cinv.h"
```

#### stdlib_base_cinv( z )

Computes the inverse of a double-precision complex floating-point number.

```c
#include "stdlib/complex/float64.h"
#include "stdlib/complex/real.h"
#include "stdlib/complex/imag.h"

stdlib_complex128_t z = stdlib_complex128( 2.0, 4.0 );

stdlib_complex128_t out = stdlib_base_cinv( z );

double re = stdlib_real( out );
// returns 0.1

double im = stdlib_imag( out );
// returns -0.2
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **z**: `[in] stdlib_complex128_t` input value.

```c
stdlib_complex128_t stdlib_base_cinv( const stdlib_complex128_t z );
```
