IMAGINARY

Purpose:

Returns the Imaginary component of a complex expression.

IMAGINARY(val)

val

A scalar, series or table.

A scalar, series, or table.

imaginary(1)

returns the result 0.0.

imag(3.0 + 4.0i)

returns 4.0.

a = {1 + 10i, 2 + 20i, 3 + 30i, 4 + 40i};

b = imag(a);

b == {10, 20, 30, 40)

b is a series that contains the imaginary part of a.

imag(gsin(20, 0.05))

returns a series with twenty zeros because the generated sine wave contains no imaginary component.

IMAGINARY returns the imaginary part of a scalar or series as real values.

IMAGINARY can be abbreviated IMAG.
