How Could I use Complex Number via VEX Language?

[faxingberlin]

I am making some fractal which is needed Complex Numbers.

I use Python Module's Complex Method. => complex(1, 2) = 1+2j

But I want to know using Complex Numbers via VEX Language.

 

According to SideFX's Houdini Documents, 

vector2 : Two floating point values. You might use this to represent texture coordinates (though usually Houdini uses vectors) or complex numbers.

But I cannot know how to express the complex numbers in VEX.

You have to come up with your own complex mult/add functions, but you can do it using vector2 types:

Okay  That works! I understand. Thanks!

if you are using houdini 16, just include complex.h in your vex code. it´s in $HFS/houdini/vex/include.

Ace, thanks petz!

(edit)

Oh wait, its a subset of functionality of the standard lib, so no cdiv or other more interesting things. Doh!

ah, yes, cdiv is missing. might be worth an RFE!
