is 0.0 a complex(Float) or just Float in Fricas? It is a trick question.
If it is a compelx(Float), should it not print at 0.0*%i on the screen? But Fricas removes the %i from the output, but it still says it is complex(Float) (10) -> r:=0.0*%i; Type: Complex(Float) (11) -> r (11) 0.0 <------ what happened to the %i ?? Type: Complex(Float) (12) -> typeOf(r) (12) Complex(Float) Compare to Maple, which also says that 0.0*I is complex, but the display keeps the I in there. That is the main difference restart; r:=0.0*I: r; 0.*I <----- Notice the I is still there whattype(r) complex(extended_numeric) Should not Fricas keeps the screen display with %i in it? Right now looking at the screen and seeing just 0.0 but at the same time it is saying this is complex number, is little confusing.
