CToStringPolar

Returns a complex number as polar text, such as 5 * exp(0.927i).

Syntax

CToStringPolar( byref z as Complex ) as string

Notes

• Modulus, then the phase inside an exponential — r * exp(θi). Unambiguous and ASCII, which an angle sign would not be.
• Both numbers go through ToString, so both round-trip.
• AfxNova's CStrPolar, with the same format.

Examples

#import "std/numeric"
using numeric

print CToStringPolar( CSet( 3, 4 ) )     '' 5 * exp(0.9272952180016122i)
print CToStringPolar( CSet( -1, 0.0 ) )  '' 1 * exp(3.141592653589793i)
print CToStringPolar( COne( ) )          '' 1 * exp(0i)
