3.6) Complex Numbers

There is also a 'complex number' type in Python, which consists of a pair of two floats, a real part and an imaginary part. The imaginary part is written with a suffix of "j" or "J". Here is how you would write imaginary numbers:

>>> type(1j)
<type 'complex'>
>>> a=1+2j
>>> a
(1+2j)

You can also create a complex number with the function complex(real, imag), where real is the real part and imag the imaginary part of the complex number.

>>> complex(0,1)
1j
