- Has anyone noticed that MS Visual C++ doesn't have a complex class?
-
- I just started working with version 4.0, and I was absolutely SHOCKED
- that the library doesn't support complex functions, nor is there a
- complex class anywhere. There is a _complex struct, which isn't very
- much. Oddly enough the only place complex is mentioned in the
- documentation is as an example for friend functions, where they sketch
- out an implementation of complex. :)
-
- Can anyone help me with a simple workaround. Apparently I can BUY
- complex stuff from Visual Numerics, but since it would only take me
- a day to make it, I probably won't buy it.
-
- Any comments ????
