Addition of complex numbers

You should add two complex numbers as vectors.

 


Explanation

Complex numbers have no particular order, because they have two dimensions. This can be represented geometrically by points in the complex plane, and points in a plane have no order. Calculations with greater than (>) and less than (<) are therefore not possible.

 


Exemple 1

You can see that

(4 + 1i) + (2 + 3i)  = 6 + 4i

and that compares to the addition of vectors.
