78An imaginary literal yields a complex number with a real part of
790.0. Complex numbers are represented as a pair of floating point
80numbers and have the same restrictions on their range. To create a
81complex number with a nonzero real part, add a floating point number
82to it, e.g., <code>(3+4j)</code>. Some examples of imaginary literals:
