imaginary unit j in C++
|
|
|
| hi there,
Just messing around with some c++ code just now. In matlab if you
want to deign an algorithm that uses the imaginary unit j (sqrt(-1))
you simply insert j, right? But how do you do this in C++? If humans
can hardly comprehend the imaginary unit then how does a computer
manage to handle it?
Any views?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
in C++ you usually use elements of the class complex. Imaginary unit would
be
complex X = complex(0,1);
