function value = c8_norm_l2 ( x )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% C8_NORM_L2 evaluates the L2 norm of a C8.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    Numbers of equal norm lie on circles centered at (0,0).
%
%    The L2 norm can be defined here as:
%
%      C8_NORM_L2(X) = sqrt ( ( real (X) )**2 + ( imag ( X ) )**2 )
