Firstly, put your code in [code] [ /code ] tags...
Secondly, the "math" part of multiplying complex numbers is quite easy.
(x + yi)(a + bi) = (xa – yb) + (xb + ya)i


I am not sure if I understood your question. So if this is not what you actually asked, please let me know.

Best of wishes,

   r = (n1.r * n2.r) - (n1.i * n2.i);
	     i = n1.r * n2.r + n1.i * n2.r ;
	     r + i * (i);

Yes that right.. so if i type it into my program it would look like this correct?

Yes. If by r + i * (i); you mean the output (cout), then yes.
