Complex numbers

A complex number has both real and imaginary parts, and Python allows you to specify this data type in a very easy and convenient way.

Syntax:

<variable name>=complex(x,y) 

OR

<variable name>=x+yj 

Here, x is the real part and y is the imaginary part. Here, j plays the role of iota.

It will be clearer with the following screenshot:

Here, we declare two variables to denote complex numbers. One way to achieve is to use complex() method and the other way is to use the standard notation as used in mathematics.

In standard complex number notation, x+ij, i is used to denote the starting of the imaginary part and stands for iota. j denotes the imaginary part. The credit for conceiving the idea of complex numbers goes to Italian mathematician Gerolamo Cardano in 1545.
