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.
