I
Complex.I() returns the complex number $\mathrm{i}$.
Example
The following example sets the variable $z$ equal to $\mathrm{i}$.
Input
-- Complex.I()
z = Complex.I()
print(z)
Result
(0 + 1 I)

Im
Complex.Im($z$) returns a real number equal to the complex part of $z$
Example
The following example defines $z$ as a complex number and sets $y$ equal to its imaginary part.
Input
-- Complex.Im(z)
z = 3 + 2 * I
y = Complex.Im(z)
print("z = ",z)
print("y = Im[z] = ",y)

Complex.New
Complex.New($x$,$y$) returns a complex number $z = x + \mathrm{i}\,y$.
Example
The following example creates the complex number $z=3+2\mathrm{i}$.
Input
-- Complex.New(x,y)
z = Complex.New(3,2)
print(z)
Result
(3 + 2 I)

Re
Complex.Re($z$) returns a real number equal to the real part of $z$
Example
The following example defines $z$ as a complex number and sets $x$ equal to its real part.
Input
-- Complex.Re(z)
z = 3 + 2 * I
x = Complex.Re(z)
print("z = ",z)
print("x = Re[z] = ",x)
