## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var cabs2 = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/cabs2' );
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### cabs2( re, im )
|
||
|
|
||
|
Computes the squared [absolute value][absolute-value] of a `complex` number comprised of a **real** component `re` and an **imaginary** component `im`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var y = cabs2( 5.0, 3.0 );
|
||
|
// returns 34.0
|
||
|
```

## Notes
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Be careful to avoid overflow and underflow.
|
||
|
- Depending on the environment, this function _may_ have better performance than computing the [absolute value][absolute-value] of a `complex` number and then squaring. Hence, where appropriate, consider using `cabs2()` over [`cabs()`][@stdlib/math/base/special/cabs].
