That should be z += 0j
Pardon my ignorance, but could anyone explain the rationale behind
using 'j' to indicate the imaginary number (as opposed to the more
intuitive 'i')?
(Not that I've had much call to use complex numbers but I'm
curious....)
I think it explained in the complex math area, but basically EE types
use j, math types use i for exactly the same thing. Since i is so
frequently and index in CS, and there is another strong convention,
why not let the EE types win?
