Re

Re[e] finds the real part of e.

Attributes[Re] := {Listable, NumericFunction, Protected}

Simple examples

In[1]:= Re[1]
Out[1]= 1
In[2]:= Re[0.5]
Out[2]= 0.5
In[3]:= Re[(2)/(3)]
Out[3]= (2)/(3)
In[4]:= Re[2 + I]
Out[4]= 2
In[5]:= Re[(1*E^(I*(Pi)/(4)))/(2)]
Out[5]= (1)/(2*Sqrt[2])
In[6]:= Re[foo + 1]
Out[6]= 1 + Re[foo]
In[7]:= Re[foo + 1 + bar]
Out[7]= 1 + Re[foo + bar]
In[8]:= Re[foo + I]
Out[8]= Re[foo]
In[9]:= Re[foo + I + bar]
Out[9]= Re[foo + bar]
In[10]:= Re[(a)/(2)]
Out[10]= (Re[a])/(2)
