Complex Number Operations with AddUp 2

Numbers can be classified in many ways. One way is to use a natural "gradation" from the more concrete to the more abstract types. For example:

To represent a complex number with AddUp, parentheses are used to hold a list of two real numbers (a pair). The so-called "real" component is first in the list; the so-called "imaginary" component is second. A semi-colon separates both items in the list. For example, complex number "(1; 2)" has a real component with a value of 1 and an imaginary component with a value of 2.

Operations on complex numbers are done with AddUp in exactly the same way as operations on real numbers. The complex number is simple entered wherever a real number could also be used. For example, multiplying two complex numbers is done with an expression such as "(1; 2) * (3; 4)".

A set of complex number functions is implemented in AddUp to explicitly take advantage of these values. They are:
