I'm retired with time to "fool around". Finding an old rot90 verb that
used multiplication by a 2 by 2 matrix, I sought a more direct way using
complex numbers and found one of the solutions that was posted. I also
learned a lot from the other solutions posted, thanks everyone!
New puzzle: find a complex analysis way to do a rotation given its angle in
radians, examples:
1r2p1 rottheta 3 4
_4 3
1r4p1 rottheta _1 1
_1.414213562 0

I'm also a former math professor!
