You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
The purpose of this task is to explore working with complex numbers. Given n, find the n-th roots of unity.

(defun roots-of-unity (n) (loop for i below n collect (cis (* pi (/ (* 2 i) n)))))
The expression is slightly more complicated than necessary in order to preserve exact rational arithmetic until multiplying by pi. The author of this example is not a floating point expert and not sure whether this is actually useful; if not, the simpler expression is (cis (/ (* 2 pi i) n))

Java
Java doesn't have a nice way of dealing with complex numbers, so the real and imaginary parts are calculated separately based on the angle and printed together. There are also checks in this implementation to get rid of extremely small values (< 1.0E-3 where scientific notation sets in for Doubles). Instead, they are simply represented as 0. To remove those checks (for very high n's), remove both if statements. <java>public static void unity(int n){ //all the way around the circle at even intervals for(double angle = 0;angle < 2 * Math.PI;angle += (2 * Math.PI) / n){ double real = Math.cos(angle); //real axis is the x axis if(Math.abs(real) < 1.0E-3) real = 0.0; //get rid of annoying sci notation double imag = Math.sin(angle); //imaginary axis is the y axis if(Math.abs(imag) < 1.0E-3) imag = 0.0; //get rid of annoying sci notation System.out.print(real + " + " + imag + "i\t"); //tab-separated answers } }</java>
