Hi,
LON-CAPA loads a modified version of the Math::Complex perl module
into perl safe space (named LONCAPA::LCMathComplex), so the following
could be used in a perl script block in a resource in LON-CAPA.
$a=&random(1,5,1);
$b=&random(5,10,1);
$c=&random(10,15,1);
$d=&random(15,20,1);
$z1 = &cplx($a, $b);
$z2 = &cplx($c, $d);
$product = $z1 * $z2;
$e = &Re($product);
$f = &Im($product);
If you want to override perl's standard sqrt() function with one that
handles imaginary numbers, you can do so, e.g.,
$g = &LONCAPA::LCMathComplex::sqrt(-1);

Hi,
Can LON-CAPA handle imaginary and complex numbers? I am having
trouble finding any info about it in the help.
Thanks,
