# numpy.ma.conjugate

`numpy.ma.``conjugate`(x[, out]) = <numpy.ma.core._MaskedUnaryOperation instance at 0x52b5150c>

  Return the complex conjugate, element-wise.

  The complex conjugate of a complex number is obtained by changing the sign of its imaginary part.

  Parameters: | x : array_like Input value.
  Returns: | y : ndarray The complex conjugate of x, with same dtype as y.

  Examples

      >>> np.conjugate(1+2j)
      (1-2j)

      >>> x = np.eye(2) + 1j * np.eye(2)
      >>> np.conjugate(x)
      array([[ 1.-1.j,  0.-0.j],
             [ 0.-0.j,  1.-1.j]])
