Complex numbers is a mathematical concept providing solutions to equations such as [math]\displaystyle{ x^2 = -1 }[/math].
In FPC's default runtime library the unit uComplex
defines a type complex
and lots of operator and other functions.
u
in uComplex
stands for the Greek letter μ, meaning “micro”, as the implementation is kept as simple as possible.
In extended Pascal, which FPC plans to implement one day, the data type complex
is defined as part of the language.
program complexDemo(input, output, stderr);
uses
uComplex;
var
x, y: complex;
begin
// specifying real and imaginary part
x := -5 + 2 * i;
// specifying magnitude and phase angle
// y := sqrt(2) * (cos(pi/4) + i * sin(pi/4))
y.re := 1;
y.im := 1;
x := x + y;
// there is no toString functionality:
writeLn('x = ', x.re, ' + ', x.im, 'i');
end.
