+Madhur Bhatia Help! i am using IDLE and complex data type keep giving me the below error
>>> myvar=8-4h
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Is the letter "j" a special reserved character for complex number?? I tried using the letter i for imaginary (in electronics they use j for the imaginary part). and also tried another arbitrary letter but it gives the error..so am i right just to use the j?

thats why j is not declared as an error ..type myvar=6+5j..and see
