To: J3 08-266r1 From: Toon Moene Subject: The new COMPLEX intrinsic. Date: 2008 August 13 Rationale: There is a need expressed for an intrinsic function that constructs a complex number from two real numbers with equal kind type parameters yielding a result value having the same kind type parameter. Edits: [317 after COMMAND_ARGUMENT_COUNT] "COMPLEX (RE, IM) E Conversion to complex type with the same kind type parameter as RE and IM." [337 after 13.7.37] "13.7.37+ <> <> Conversion to complex type. <> Elemental function. <> RE and IM are of type real with the same kind type parameter. <> Complex with the same kind type parameter as RE and IM. <> The complex number with real part RE and imaginary part IM. <> COMPLEX(A, B) is (3.0, 4.5) if A has the value 3.0 and B has the value 4.5."
