-Complex is already in the basic class library. Multiples of imaginary are created by sending an "i" message to a number, which can be added to another number. Thus 5i => (0+5i), 1+(1/3)I => (1+1/3i) and (1.0+2i) => (1.0+2i). Notice that the read and image components can be arbitrary integers, fractions or floating point numbers. And the results will be exact (i.e. fractions) if possible.
