Class Complex

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable, Cloneable

    public final class Complex
    extends Object
    implements Cloneable, Serializable
    A simple class for the handling of complex numbers. This is not the purpose of this class to provides a full-fledged library for complex number handling. This class exists mostly for the limited needs of some transformation methods.

    For performance reasons, the methods in this class never create new objects. They always operate on an object specified in argument, and store the result in the object on which the method was invoked.

    This class is final for performance reason.
