# The Complex<double> class resides in the Extreme.Mathematics namespace.
from Extreme.Mathematics import *

# Illustrates the use of the Complex<double> class in 
# Numerics.NET.

# Complex<double> constants:

# The imaginary unit is given by Complex<double>.I:
print "Complex<double>.I =", Complex<double>.I

# Construct some complex numbers

# Real and imaginary parts:

# Polar form:

# To print this number, use the overloaded ToString
# method and specify the format string for the real
