Complex

A complex number.

Example

    -- Create a complex number
    
c1 = pf.Complex(3,4) 
 
    -- Determine magnitude and phase of the complex number
    
mag = c1:Magnitude()
phase = c1:Phase()

    -- Some of the valid operators for 'Complex'
 
c2 = 2 + j*1
c3 = c1 * 2
c4 = c1 / 2
c5 = c1 - c2
c6 = c1 + c2
c7 = c1 * c2
c8 = c1.re * c2.re
