# Function complex
Create a complex value or convert a value to a complex value.
## Syntax
```js
math.complex() // creates a complex value with zero
// as real and imaginary part.
math.complex(re : number, im : string) // creates a complex value with provided
// values for real and imaginary part.
math.complex(re : number) // creates a complex value with provided
// real value and zero imaginary part.
math.complex(complex : Complex) // clones the provided complex value.
math.complex(arg : string) // parses a string into a complex value.
math.complex(array : Array) // converts the elements of the array
// or matrix element wise into a
// complex value.
math.complex({re: number, im: number}) // creates a complex value with provided
// values for real an imaginary part.
math.complex({r: number, phi: number}) // creates a complex value with provided
// polar coordinates
```
### Parameters
Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------
`args` | * &#124; Array &#124; Matrix | Arguments specifying the real and imaginary part of the complex number
### Returns
Type | Description

Complex &#124; Array &#124; Matrix | Returns a complex value
## Examples
```js
const a = math.complex(3, -4) // a = Complex 3 - 4i
a.re = 5 // a = Complex 5 - 4i
const i = a.im // Number -4
const b = math.complex('2 + 6i') // Complex 2 + 6i
const c = math.complex() // Complex 0 + 0i
const d = math.add(a, b) // Complex 5 + 2i
```
