Hi everyone!
This is regarding the inbuilt 'complex' function. The python docs say:
"Note: When converting from a string, the string must not contain whitespace
around the central + or - operator. For example, complex('1+2j') is fine, but
complex('1 + 2j') raises ValueError."
Why is this so? Why can't spaces be allowed everywhere and simply ignored? I
went through the source and it did not seem like this was an internal
requirement, so it seems like a design choice. Is there any reason why spaces
in the middle would be a problem?
