How do I represent a complex number in ada?

Question

Im trying to figure out how to represent a complex number in the ada programming language. Through research I figured out about the with Ada.Numerics.Complex_Types package and looking at the package I dont see how the imaginary number 'i' is represented. Can someone please explain?

Answer 1

You can represent 2+6i as (2.0, 6.0).

with Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types;

procedure Cplx is

  type My_Real is digits 15;  --  Double precision

  package RC is new Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types (My_Real);
  use RC;

  c: Complex;

begin
  c.Re := 2.0;
  c.Im := 6.0;
  --  More compact:
  c := (Re => 2.0, Im => 6.0);
  --  Even more compact:
  c := (2.0, 6.0);
end;
