ComplexMatrix

Converts an object to a complex matrix.

Syntax

• ComplexMatrix(X)

  • X is any object

Description

If X is any object, then ComplexMatrix(X) returns X as a complex matrix, if possible.

Specifically,

• If X is a number, then ComplexMatrix(X) returns the 1×1 complex matrix containing X as its only entry.

• If X is a vector, then ComplexMatrix(X) returns X as a single-column complex matrix.

• If X is a matrix, then ComplexMatrix(X) returns X as a complex matrix.

• If X is a two-dimensional list of numbers, then ComplexMatrix(X) returns X as a complex matrix.

• If X is a string, then ComplexMatrix(X) attempts to parse it as a complex matrix by splitting it on newlines (rows) and commas, semicolons, and tabs (columns).
