Complex Number

A Complex number is a combination of real number and an imaginary number.

For example: 3 + 2i –> This is a complex number in which 3 is the real number and 2i is the imaginary number.

i –> is the imaginary number that is imagined as the square root of -1 i.e., √-1.

Below are few examples of complex numbers:

  1. 3i
  2. -4.3i
  3. 57i
  4. 43i/4

i is the imaginary number that depicts that it should be multiplied by √-1.

Complex number is a number which is dependent on two numbers. One number is a real number and the other number is the imaginary number.

Say for example, 2 x 3 = 6, here 6 is dependent on two numbers 2 and 3.

Likewise, complex number is also a number that is dependent on two numbers for which the value of one number is known whereas the value of the other number is unknown.

6 + 5i 6 5
2 5 0
−9i 0 -9

The above table gives a clear understanding on the understanding of complex numbers.

Now, we have a basic understanding of complex numbers. Let’s get back to Python.
