Given a tensor `input`, this operation returns a tensor of type `float` that
is the real part of each element in `input` considered as a complex number.

#### For example:

    x = tf.constant([-2.25 + 4.75j, 3.25 + 5.75j])
    tf.math.real(x)  # [-2.25, 3.25]

If `input` is already real, it is returned unchanged.
