A '''complex number''' type is a [[numeric type]] which represents, usually with some limited precision, the [[wikipedia:Complex number|complex numbers]]. Complex number support is defined as an optional facility in the XAPL standard ([[ISO/IEC 13751:2001]]), and complex numbers are available in many APLs. Usually these numbers are written with a syntax such as <source lang=apl inline>5j2</source> or <source lang=apl inline>5J2</source> for the complex number with real part 5 and imaginary part 2. | A '''complex number''' type is a [[number|numeric type]] which represents, usually with some limited precision, the [[wikipedia:Complex number|complex numbers]].
