:I did some looking; there are complex built-in types in the C99 standard, with defined implicit casts up and down to the other numeric primitives. --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 10:36, 11 March 2008 (MDT) |

::How could an implicit cast from a complex type to a floating point or integer type result in a valid value? Simple integers and floats cannot represent both the real and imaginary parts of the complex number.--[[User:Waldorf|Waldorf]] 17:36, 11 March 2008 (MDT) |

:::The code example only uses conversions from real types to complex types; but complex types can be converted to real types by discarding the imaginary part. --[[User:Spoon!|Spoon!]] 18:21, 11 March 2008 (MDT) |
