The complex
data type represents a complex number, a number of the form a+bi where a and b are real numbers and i is the square root of -1.
The XION Scripting Language Standard states that both real and imaginary parts of the complex
type must have the same precision as that of the number
type. OpenXION follows this.
A complex
can always convert to a string
. A complex
can convert to a number
if its imaginary part is zero, and can convert to an integer
if, in addition to its imaginary part being zero, its real part is a mathematical integer in the range of the integer
type.
An integer
or a number
can always convert to a complex
with an imaginary part of zero. A string
can convert to a complex
if it has the correct format.
The format used for the conversion of a complex
to a string
is determined by the numberFormat
property.
