Complex functions

[George McDuffee]

Anyone have complex operators including powers and roots for powerbasic? I am running the console compiler.

My main interest is Monte Carlo simulation using the L-stable [e.g. Gaussian, Cauchy] distributions. I have the general L-stable characteristic equation, but this involves complex numbers including fraction roots and logs[e].

Would there be any interest in the community for a program to display the L-stable curves as you vary the alpha-delta parameters, possibly generating an area under the curve table similar to the normal/Gausian Z tables?

On your question...

.. I will give you the same answer I gave in alt.lang.powerbasic:

The PowerBASIC Console Compiler directly supports powers and roots by means
of either A) the exponentiation operator "^" or B) combining the logarithm
and exponentiation functions (LOG, LOG2 and LOG10, EXP, EXP2 and EXP10) with
the multiplication and division operators "*/" and "/"

George,

They don't look difficult to implement:

I have since learned the question refers to "complex [number] operands" rather than "complex operators"

Therefore my original reply is not on point.

I would love to see your work!
