Function Details: complex

Description

Creates a complex number with the value real + imag*1j or convert a string or number to a complex number.

Extended Description

The complex() function creates a complex number or converts a string or number to a complex number. It can be called with zero, one, or two arguments. If called with no arguments, it returns 0j. If called with one argument, it can be a string representing a complex number or a number which will be converted to a complex number with zero imaginary part.

Exceptions

ValueError: If the string passed as 'real' is not a valid complex number representation
TypeError: If incompatible types are provided for real or imag
