j x+yj x+j*yUse the character
j
in place of the character i
, if desired, as the imaginary unit.
As the basic imaginary unit sqrt(-1)
, j
is used to enter complex numbers. Since j
is a function, it can be overridden and used as a variable. This permits you to use j
as an index in for
loops, etc.
It is possible to use the character j
without a multiplication sign as a suffix in forming a numerical constant.
