Well, so far, I have found that ** invokes the function PDL::power which seems not to work with the new complex types. I don't know the reason for having both a 'pow' and a 'power' function.
On the other hand, would it be feasible to enable data flow back to the real and imaginary parts of a new complex? (I understand it may go against their philosophy) pdl> $a=1+2*ci #make a new complex pdl> p $a 1+2i pdl> $b=$a->cimag pdl> p $b 2 pdl> $b.=3 # modifying $b pdl> p $a # doesn't modify the imaginary part of $a 1+2i Best regards, Luis On Sat, Mar 06, 2021 at 05:12:40PM -0600, Luis Mochan wrote: > And pow also works.
