roots <- polyroot(c(5, 4, 3, 2, 1))
I want to sort the roots by ascending order of the imaginary part. By default the sort
function sorts it by the increasing order of the real part. I've read the document and I still do not know how to adjust the arguments or write the command. Can anybody help?
Use Im
function to extract the imaginary part and sort it.
roots <- polyroot(c(5, 4, 3, 2, 1))
#[1] 0.287815+1.416093i -1.287815+0.857897i -1.287815-0.857897i
#[4] 0.287815-1.416093i
roots[order(Im(roots))]
#[1] 0.287815-1.416093i -1.287815-0.857897i -1.287815+0.857897i
#[4] 0.287815+1.416093i
